Description:
This fort was built by the Shilahar family in the 10th or 11th Century AD. It is 1025 feet in height and has an area of 1824 square yards. It was earlier named as Aashwalayangad, later named as Aaswalgad. It is 12 Kms from Satara city. After winning it from the Mughals, Shivaji requested Saint Samarth Ramdas to come and stay over here. During this period many people would come to take the blessings of the saint and hence the name Sajjan (a noble person).
