Geography & terrain

Sajjangad lies in the Satara district of Maharashtra at about 1,188 m, 45 km from Satara and 120 km from Pune — the shrine fort of the region, its Samarth Ramdas memorial, the temple and the views set on the Sahyadri's ridge.

History & culture

The fort's story runs with the 17th-century saint era — the shrine fort of the Samarth Ramdas and the 17th-century-era memorial of the saint's seat, with the fort's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Satara circuit and the home of the 17th-century-era samadhi and the Ram temple and the 2000s-era ghat steps; the fort's history of the 1657-era gift and the steep climb and the valley views, gives Sajjangad its shrine-fort character.
