History


The sea is very close from Rohya. The Kundalika river, where all the parts of the ocean were used, were used for the purpose of sea transportation. Many forts have been built to keep an eye on all these areas. One of them, Talgadashivaya knew the importance of this area, so the forts of the fort and the Ghosalgad were taken into custody. In front of King Jaysinga, Maharao took 12 forts under the purandara fort. Talgad was one of them, in that it was one of the few. From this we understand the importance of this fort. In 1818 General Prathar won this fort.
