Bhandardurg Fort Fridge Magnet
The Bhandardurg Fort Fridge Magnet celebrates one of the distinctive hill forts forming the historic Mahuli fort complex in Maharashtra. Located in the Shahapur region of Thane district, Bhandardurg is part of a dramatic mountain landscape known for rocky formations, forested slopes, trekking routes and historic fort remains.
Bhandardurg is traditionally described alongside Mahuli and Palasgad as one of the three main forts of the Mahuli mountain complex. Historical and trekking references identify Bhandardurg as the southern section of this fort group.
This Bhandardurg Fort Fridge Magnet is designed as a compact souvenir for fort lovers, trekkers, travellers, history enthusiasts, photographers and collectors of Maharashtra’s forts.
Bhandardurg Fort Fridge Magnet – A Sahyadri Heritage Souvenir

Display it on a refrigerator, magnetic board, office cabinet or another suitable magnetic surface. It can also be combined with other products from The Owltlet’s Maharashtra Fort Collection.
For travellers, a small destination-inspired magnet can become a lasting reminder of a trek or journey.
About Bhandardurg Fort
Bhandardurg is part of the Mahuli mountain complex near Shahapur and Asangaon in Thane district. Trekking references describe the three major sections as Palasgad to the north, Mahuli in the middle and Bhandardurg towards the south.
The wider Mahuli complex is characterised by dramatic rock formations and pinnacles. Bhandardurg itself is reached through routes associated with the Mahuli fort area, making it an interesting destination for people exploring the Sahyadri landscape.
Trekshitiz lists Bhandardurg as a hill fort in Thane district and gives its elevation as approximately 2,785 feet.
A Fort Connected With Maharashtra’s History
The Mahuli fort complex has an important place in the history of the region.
Historical sources record that Shahaji Raje occupied Mahuli in the 1630s during the final phase of the Nizam Shahi kingdom. The fort complex subsequently became involved in conflicts between the Mughals, Adilshahi and Marathas.
In 1670, Moropant Pingle led a campaign that resulted in the capture of the Mahuli fort complex, including Mahuli, Bhandargad and Palasgad.
The history of Bhandardurg is therefore closely connected with the wider history of the Mahuli fort complex rather than being viewed as an isolated fort.
A Scenic Sahyadri Destination
The landscape around Bhandardurg is one of the major attractions for trekkers.
The Mahuli mountain range features steep rock faces, forested sections, dramatic pinnacles and views across the surrounding Thane region.

Explore the Mahuli Fort Complex
One of the interesting aspects of Bhandardurg is its relationship with the other forts in the Mahuli range.
Mahuli, Bhandardurg and Palasgad have traditionally been described as a group of three forts. A historical study hosted by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics also describes Mahuli as having three terraces or sections named Palasgad, Mahuli and Bhandardurg.
More recent research has proposed that historical documents may indicate a fourth fort, referred to as Pratapgad, within the Mahuli range. This interpretation has been reported from research into Modi-script Peshwa records and remains a subject of historical research.
For collectors, this makes the Mahuli region particularly interesting because one mountain complex can be represented through several distinct fort-themed products.
