Naldurg Fort is a historic fort in Naldurg town of Dharashiv district in Maharashtra state of India.[1] Naldurg Fort is named after Nalraja who built the fort in medieval architectural style. The unique feature of the fort is that it encloses a knoll of basalt rock which juts out into the valley of the small Bori River and a long fortification wall with many bastions.[2][3][4] The Naldurg fort is one of the important ground forts in the Marathwada region.
