Maha Darwaza, literally meaning the grand gate, is the last and final gate of the Lohagad Fort. Living up to its name, it is a grand structure flanked by bastions and complete with a guard and drum house. The Maha Darwaja is the last of the gateways and leads to the triangular table top. Adjoining the Maha Darwaja is a small display providing information on the history of the fort and about trails to explore the table top.
It is located slightly north-west of the Maha Darwaza. It is the largest standing structure in the fort complex. The square structure is topped with a dome. Sadly, nothing is known about the tomb or its occupants. Next to the tomb is an open paved area marked as sabha mandap or assembly area, housing three cannons.
A small flat-roofed stone structure. The area in front of the temple has been paved and houses a statue of a Nandi bull.
Tryambak Tank is an octagonal tank located north of the Mahadev Temple.
North of Tryambak Tank are small stone reservoirs that once supplied drinking water to the fort's inhabitants.
North of the drinking water source is the 16-sided tank. It is a large water body with two separate flights of stairs. It was built by Nana Fadnavis in 1789.
scorpion’s tail
At the northern vertex of the triangular table-top lies a narrow strip of elevated rock stretching about 500m with an average width of 15 m. It looks like a scorpion’s tail, which is why it’s called Vinchu Kata. However, the Vinchu Kata is not accessible to visitors. A barricade with a board saying “No Entry Beyond This Point” prevents visitors from getting into the narrow stretch of elevated land.
