About Thalner Fort
Thalner is a historic town in Shirpur taluka on the banks of the Tapi River. According to the District Dhule government, Malik Raja Faruqi received the Thalner and Karvand territories from Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq and established Faruqi rule in the region. A triangular-shaped fort was constructed at Thalner around 1370.
The fort was strategically positioned with the Tapi River on one side and fortifications and bastions protecting the other sides. Its location contributed to the importance of Thalner in the history of Khandesh.
A Fort with a Rich Khandesh History
The history of Thalner reflects the changing political landscape of northern Maharashtra.
The District Dhule government records that Mughal Emperor Akbar gained control of Thalner in 1600 after defeating Bahadur Shah Faruqi. The fort was later captured by the Marathas, followed by control under the Nimbalkar and Holkar families. In 1818, British officer Thomas Hislop defeated the Marathas and brought the fort under British rule.
This succession of rulers makes Thalner an interesting destination for anyone exploring the history of Khandesh and Maharashtra’s forts.
Thalner and the Tapi River
One of the distinctive characteristics of Thalner Fort is its riverside setting.
The fort stands close to the Tapi River, giving the historic site a different character from many hill forts located high in the Sahyadri mountains. Maharashtra Tourism describes Thalner as a riverside fort with historical and geographical importance and notes its connection with the region’s historic trade routes.
The product artwork captures this heritage through a visual representation of the fort’s stone walls, bastion and surrounding landscape.
