HISTORY OF THE ATTRACTION

The fourth capital of Maharashtra, Ajinkyatara fort was brought into existence in the year 1190 during the rule of Shilahar King Bhoj-II. After that, it was taken into custody by Bahamanis and later by Ali Adil Shah I of Bijapur. In fact, the beautiful wife of Ali Adil Shah, Chandbibi, was held captive in the fort for a long period. Thereafter, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took over it and stayed here for two months due to ill health.

Following the death of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Aurangzeb captured it in 1682. In 1700, Subhanji took over the fort and renamed it as ‘Azamtara’.
