island fortress :- Murud janjira

in #travel7 years ago

Murud janjira fort is a fort built on the islands of janjira by siddhis. I was recently visiting this place and clicked some of the photos to show the greatness of the fort. It is located to 165km south of Mumbai. We need to take the ferry from rajapuri to reach the entrance of the fort. This fort was unconquered till Indian Independence in 1947.
