About Padmadurg Fort
Padmadurg is also known as Kasa Fort. It is located near Murud in Raigad district and is one of the sea forts associated with the Maratha period.
Government archaeological records identify the monument as Kasa Fort or Padmadurg Fort and document conservation work at the site, including debris clearance, vegetation removal and repairs to water tanks.
The Coastal and Oceanic Island Database records the fort as being approximately 3 km from Murud village and describes the island as a protected archaeological site.
Padmadurg and Maharashtra’s Maritime Heritage
Unlike hill forts located deep within the Sahyadri ranges, Padmadurg represents Maharashtra’s historic maritime fort architecture.
Its position in the Arabian Sea gave it strategic importance in the coastal region. Historical references associate the fort with the Maratha effort to challenge the naval power centred around Janjira.
A Government of Maharashtra publication on Maratha military architecture identifies Padmadurg among the island forts constructed along Maharashtra’s western coast.
This makes the Padmadurg Fort Fridge Magnet an interesting addition to collections focused on Maharashtra’s coastal forts.
Padmadurg and Kasa Fort
The name Kasa Fort is commonly used alongside Padmadurg. The island itself is recorded in the Coastal and Oceanic Island Database under several names, including Kansa Fort, Kasa Fort and Padmadurg Fort.
The fort’s distinctive bastions and sea-facing defensive structures are part of what makes Padmadurg visually different from Maharashtra’s inland hill forts.
The name Padmadurg, meaning a lotus fort, is also associated with the fort’s distinctive architectural form.
A Historic Sea Fort Near Murud
Padmadurg is part of the historic coastal landscape around Murud-Janjira.
The area includes several important heritage destinations, making it particularly interesting for travellers who enjoy forts, beaches, boats, photography and Konkan history.
A Government of India tourism-roadmap document identifies Murud, Janjira and Padmadurg as terminals associated with a proposed local ferry route on National Waterway 83, reflecting the forts’ location within the coastal and creek landscape.
