	Life has no titles! So why should my blog?? :)
		Passing through Chandni Chowk, Khadakvasla “chowpatty”, and numerous stories, fables and fairy tales about us, them, and Tanaji Malusare(The Marathi stalwart who became a martyr while capturing this fort from the Mughals), we finally reached the foot of Sinhagad.
		As our car inched forward via the very narrow road up Sinhagad, history came back to us in form of Tanaji, Kondhana, and the monitor lizard.

	Sinhagad Fort - A Tale of Unmatched Valour on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		The present day Sinhagad Fort was known as Kondhana Fort, when it was first constructed in the 14th century.
		Kondhana was in “enemy” hands in 1670, and Shivaji’s mother, Jijabai, invited, and then defeated Shivaji in a game of chess, and asked for the fort as “the bet”.
		Tanaji’s forces overcame the stiff resistance presented by the inmates of the fort (leaders of whom were reportedly enjoying a gala party, at the time when Tanaji was climbing the cliffs with help from the pet monitor lizard, called Jashyawanti) at great cost.

		The ensuing battle saw the Marathas emerge as victors.
		On hearing this, a grieving Shivaji is believed to have said, "Gad aala pan sinha gela (the fort is won but the lion's gone)." And hence this fort, once called Kondhana, was renamed Sinhagad - the Lion fort.
		Today a motorable road takes visitors to the top, to see the memorial of Tanaji, the tomb of Rajaram, Shivaji's son, Dev Taka water pool and Dongiri cliff.
