Khanderi Fort in Alibaug Phone: Not AvailableAbout
Khanderi Fort is situated around 4 km from Alibaug, which was constructed on a small island by the Maratha ruler in 1678. There are two popular attractions in the fort, which are a temple devoted to Lord Vitthal and a Tomb of Daud Pir. Towards the north of the fort at about fifty yards, there is a wooden roofed temple with small tile in which Lord Vitthal is worshipped. Both the temple and the tomb are worshipped by the fisherman passing near the island. These deities are believed to rule over the waves, which are steep in northerly gales and in the Khanderi neighbourhood.
