Trekking In Maharashtra: Induri Fort (किल्ले इंदुरी)

Myself and Laxmikant went to attend one of our friend's marriage in Talegaon-Dabadhe village near Pune. In marriage ceremony, my friend's uncle told us about Induri fort. Then, we decided to visit the fort after lunch in marriage ceremony. We had our lunch. Lunch was fantastic. Then we moved towards Induri area in Talegaon by six seater. Fortunately, Laxmikant's mobile consists 3.2 Megapixel camera. So we took photos using that camera.

We proceeded towards "Gadhi" - A place used to have important meetings. The Gadhi consists huge room inside it and built with nice and fine architecture. See snaps below.

One can go towards uppermost part of Gadhi using steps. On topmost area, one can find fortification wall. See below snaps.

After watching this masterpiece, we moved towards west side of the fort. On this side, one can walk on to the fortification wall and can go on two bastions. From here one can see temple of Brahmeshwar. See below snaps.

We then proceeded towards lord brahmeshwar temple. According to local villagers, during mansoon, when river is in full flow, water level arises up to the temple.
