SINHAGAD!!!
Previously called as Kondhana. Sinhagad is located 30 kilometers southwest of the city of pune. It was also strategically located at the centre of a string of other forts such as Rajgad, Purandar and Torna. There are many history done on sinhagad one of that TANAJI MALUSARE. When sinhgad comes in picture every people knows that sentence which said by chatrapati shivaji maharaj that is "GAD AALA PAN SINH GELA" that is "WE GAINED THE FORT, BUT LOST THE LION".
At Chatrapati Shivaji' Maharaj's request, he pledged to recapture the fortress of Kondhana. He received the summons while at his son's wedding, and said "ADHI LAGIN KONDHANYACH MAG MAJHYA RAYBACH" that is First I attend marriage of kondhana (recapture kondhana) and the I will attend my son's marrieage and immediately left the festivities. Tanaji and his troops scaled the fort with the help of domesticated monitor lizard her name was shevanti (ghorpad in Marathi), to whom they tied ropes and sent crawling up to the top of the ramparts. (The ghorpad grows up to 1.8m in length, and its natural habitat is rocky terrain, which it scales by gripping crevices with its strong claws). Tanaji's pet ghorpad successfully climbed the ramparts after two failed attempts. Tanaji and his men than climbed the fort in pitch darkness. He and his men recaptured the fort from Udaybhan Rathod, fortkeeper of Jai Singh.
A fierce combat took place between Tanaji and Udaybhan. Udaybhan managed to rid Tanaji of his shield, but Tanaji fought on by tying a cloth over one of his hands and using it to ward off Uday Bhan's sword attacks. Despite a lengthy fight, Tanaji was killed in battle, and Shivaji Maharaj renamed the fort from Kondana to Sinhagad in his honor. Per legend, Shivaji Maharaj's words after hearing about the demise of Tanaji were GAD AALA PAN SINH GELA ("although the fort was captured a lion was lost").
