Kille Vijaydurg -Drone View

Vijaydurg Fort was called the "Eastern Gibraltar", as it was virtually impossible to capture.
Its locational advantages include the 40 km long Waghotan/Kharepatan creek.
The fort has many monuments, now in ruins which show the characteristics of Maratha architecture. The food storage , court(sadar),Khub ladha Buruj,secret passages,are such classic examples.
This fort also has a Khalbatkhana, where important meetings were held. There are only 3 forts that had a Khalbatkhana. They are Rajgad, Raigad and Vijaydurg.
Vijaydurg was Capital of Maratha Navy.
Vijaydurg is widely considered the birthplace of helium.
In the 19th century, a British scientist named Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer discovered the element while observing a total solar eclipse.
In this video Vijaydurg is seen in top view.
Three layered fortification,all Bastons can be easily seen.
I hope you will enjoy the video.
