Padmadurg, also known as Kasa fort, is a fort in Maharashtra, India. It was built by the great Maratha ruler King Shivaji to the northwest of the fort Janjira. It was built mainly to conquer the fort Janjira, although it is not as big as Janjira. Due to incomplete construction, and bombardment from Janjira during its construction, only ruins of the Padmadurg fort remain. Many parts of the fort are now inaccessible.
[edit] Visiting
There are no direct ferryboats to Padmadurg so visitors have to hire a personal ferryboat. This fort is under a seal by Indian Government as it has been claimed that the drugs were smuggled there.
