PAVANGAD FORT
Pavangad Fort (Panhala Mahal), stands on the
Panhala spur about half a mile east of the Panhala fort from which
it is separated by a ravine. The chief defence of the fort is a
scarped rock fifteen to twenty-five feet high. In most places the
steepness of the rock has been increased by artificial scarping and
it has been strengthened by a parapet wall of black stone fourteen
feet high. This parapet wall has collapsed at many places. The two
main entrances were pulled down in 1844 when the fort was
dismantled. The fort though deserted has a good water supply.
