About KoraigadKorigad Fort is located about 20 Km away from Lonavla, in the Pune district. It is about 929 m above sea level. There are two routes to reach the top of Korigad, one from the village PethShahpur and the other one from Ambavne village. Situated at an elevation of about 3000 feet from sea level, the Koraigad fort was named after the goddess Koraidevi. Koraidevi Temple has been recently renovated and has a 3 feet high Deepmala.
History
This fort was forcibly taken over into his kingdom by Chhatrapati Shivaji along with the forts of Lohagad, Visapur, Tung, and Tikona in 1657. On March 11, 1818, Colonel Prother tried to take over this fort but even after a prolonged siege could not make any headway. Finally on 14 March, by igniting the stored ammunition by means of a loose cannonball he succeeded and this fort went to the British.
