Sarasgad is close to Pali, one of the places in Ashtavinayak yatra. Sarasgad can be identified by its four pinnacles. Sarasgad fort was mainly used to keep a check on the surrounding regions. From fort, ‘Pali’ and all surrounding areas can be seen. Shivaji Maharaj brought this fort under Hindavi Swarajya and spent 2000 Hon (the prevailing currency) for its reconstruction. Till independence this fort was under Bhor Sansthan.
