  • This appears all wrong. There is no significant fortification at Bankot. There are no references of any naval instalation of the Angre Navy here. Shivaji definitely didnt build any fort here, as there is no such reference in Purandare's volumes on Shivaji.
  • @Phadnis: There is definitely a fort at Bankot with proper fortification, though I cannot comment about the association with Shivaji
  • @ Phadnis, There is a beuatiful fort, in prestine condition, it was built by Nawab of Jajira who at the time used to work for Adil shah, After the insult of nawab by wife of adil shah for escape of shivaji, Nawab took control of the fort and property as a revenge.
  • Yup …. It’s all about Muslim families but there is no particular family who built or stays at Bankot all families are same, who built and support. It’s all rubbish to mention any name. ''Bankot is home to some of the prominent Muslim families of Konkan such as Parkars, Dimdinkar,Matwankars,and sawratker''
