Vishalgad (also known as Khelna) is a hill fort located in Bhudargad of Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, India. The fort was built by the last Shilahara ruler Bhoja II between 1178 and 1209 CE. In 1216, it was captured by the Yadava ruler Simhana II after the defeat of the Shilahara forces, leading to the annexation of the Shilahara kingdom into the Yadava state.
After the decline of the Yadava dynasty, control of the fort passed to the Surves, a Suryavanshi dynasty that had migrated from Saurashtra to the Konkan region and established its kingdom there. In 1471, the Bahamani general Mahmud Gawan laid siege to Vishalgad, compelling the Surves to surrender the fort.[1] [2] Owing to its strategic location, Vishalgad subsequently became a focal point of several military conflicts in the Deccan, involving the Bahamani Sultanate, the Vijayanagara Empire, the Surves, and later the Adil Shahi dynasty, Mughals and the Marathas.
