Overview
Ankai Fort :-
- This fort is located in the Nashik - Manmad region. Ankai fort has 7 rings of fortifications crossing the Hindu cut rock - cut temple. The importance of the winding steps was it would provide a great defending from the enemy who would get attacked by the enemies, in the last part of the steps the width of the steps is so small that hardly one or two men could even step and the defenders from the fort could throw stones on the enemies.
- A good technique of protection was they would keep firewood at the entrance and when the enemies reach the entrance they would fire the wood keeping the enemies away from the fire.
- It is said that there was a treasure chamber behind the last gateway in a curious domed building. Ankai has square water tank with an ancient sculpture in the centre. On the top of the fort had buildings they were destroyed hence only ruins are left on the fort.
Tankai Fort :-
- Tankai fort is more flat and less in height than the Ankai fort. The plateau is covered with grass and always windy horses are grazed in the grass on the fort. No shelter is available on the fort but a half collapsed shiva temple can be seen.
- The shiva temple is built of large stone in blocks with stone carvings and Nandi in front of the temple looking the shrine of the Shiva linga.
Katra Fort :-
- After passing Mammad towards Aurangabad one can see a pinnacle standing tall which is known by the name of “Hadbichi Shendi” or “Thumbs Up”. Near this pinnacle there is a hill which stands separated from the Ajantha – Saatmal mountain range on which Katra fort is located.
- There is a small temple of Lord Shiva on the southern end of the fort and water tanks on the western end
