Shivaji Maharaj: The Art of Fort Building – Rajgad to Raigad

In this episode, we uncover the story behind two of Shivaji Maharaj's greatest fortresses: Rajgad, his first capital, and Raigad, the seat of his coronation. We explore how Shivaji transformed natural hilltops into impenetrable strongholds, the engineering marvels of their water cisterns and granaries, and the strategic thinking that made them the backbone of Swarajya. Along the way, we meet the mavala soldiers who guarded these forts and the artisans who carved them into the Sahyadri mountains. We also touch on the symbolic power of Raigad's throne and the fall of Rajgad after Shivaji's death. This is a deep dive into the stone and soul of the Maratha Empire. #ShivajiMaharaj #Rajgad #Raigad #MarathaEmpire #FortArchitecture #Sahyadri #Mavala #Swarajya #HindaviSwarajya #Chhatrapati #FortBuilding #WaterCisterns #RaigadThrone #Aurangzeb #DeccanHistory #IndianHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
