Murud is the nearest town to the fort which is located at about 165 kms from Mumbai. You need to drive on the NH17 till Pen & then proceed towards Murud via Alibaug and Revdanda. The Rajapuri jetty is from where sail boats sail to the fort entrance. The road from murud town to janjira fort takes you a top a small hill from where you get the first glimpse of this amazing fort. Once you decent this hill, you reach Rajapuri jetty which is a small fishermen village. The sail boats take you from the jetty to the main door of the fort . One unique feature of this fort is that the entrance is not easily visible from a distance and can only be identified, once you go nearer to the walls of the fort. This was a strategy due to which Janjira was never conquered as the enemy would just keep on wondering about the entrance of the fort.

  • The Maratha Empire of Pune and the Peshwas: an Overview
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 The Maratha Empire of Pune and the Peshwas: an overview *Dr.Ramya.K.R. Assistant Professor, Department of History, Government First Grade College ( Autonomous ), Gubbi. Abstract This paper attempts to study how Peshwas who were all ministers who served as the chief executives to the king and later held the highest administrative office and also controlled the Maratha empire . Maratha confederacy, alliance formed in the 18th century after Mughal pressure forced the collapse of Shivaji’s kingdom of Maharashtra in western India. After the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s death (1707), Maratha power revived under Shivaji’s grandson Shahu. He confided power to the Brahman Bhat family, who became hereditary peshwas (chief ministers). He also decided to expand northward with armies under the peshwas’ control. In Shahu’s later years the power of the peshwas increased. After his death (1749) they became the effective rulers. The leading Maratha families—Sindhia, Holkar, Bhonsle, and Gaekwar— extended their conquests in northern and central India and became more independent and difficult to control. The effective control of the peshwas ended with the great defeat of Panipat (1761) at the hands of the Afghans and the death of the young peshwa Madhav Rao I in 1772. Thereafter the Maratha state was a confederacy of five chiefs under the nominal leadership of the peshwa at Poona (now Pune) in western India. Though they united on occasion, as against the British (1775–82), more often they quarreled. After he was defeated by the Holkar dynasty in 1802, the peshwa Baji Rao II sought protection from the British, whose intervention destroyed the confederacy by 1818.

  • CHAPTSR IX the FIRST ANQLO»MARATHA WAR » a REVIEW The
    - «• CHAPTSR IX THE FIRST ANQLO»MARATHA WAR » A REVIEW The preceding chapters of the present tdiesis were devoted to the analysis of the major battles fought on the Konkan and Gujrat fronts during the three different phases of the first Anglo-i<'Iaratha «iar. In this concluding chapter, however, an attempt has been made to make a critical rc^view of all the three phases of that war simultaneously. This general review of the first Anglo-Maratha War not only leads to certain broad generalisations from the military point of view, but also reveals some of its special features. As explained in the chapter II of this thesis, the first Anglo-Maratha War represented a clash between two modes of warfare’, one based on trained and disciplined infantry backed by artillery, while the other on mobile cavalry, swift manoeuvres and harassment of the enemy by cutting off his lines of communication and supplies rather than fighting pitched battles. Both these modes of warfare proved useless in bringing about the decisive result of the first Anglo- Maratha War, The ganimi k5vl or the ktita yuddha of the Marathas, by its very nature, covild tire out an enemy by its negative tactics, but it was incapable of crushingits military strength. On the other hand, the British guns and artillery were capable of crushing the enemy, but as they were not backed by mobile cavalry,the British troops could not pursue the Maratha cavalry bands, when their guns 359 360 had made a breach in the enemy lines and bring the war to a speedy conclusion.
