| Sarasgad fort from the base village |
Sarasgad (सरसगढ़) fort is situated in the Sarasgad village near Pali. Sarasgad fort looks like Sudhagad fort. The fort of Sarasgad can be known by its four pinnacles and was used as a watch tower to check the surrounding area.
The fort of Sudhagad is not in a good condition but there are huge rock steps to watch.On the top of the fort there is a Shiva temple which provides an excellent panoramic view of the mountain ranges surrounded all over.
From Sarasgad Sudhagad and Tailbaila can be seen.There are certain caves on the fort used for the soldiers and other things, because there was very little space on the fort. There are water tanks carved in the rocks which provide cold water throughout the year.
There is a 'Dindi Darwaja'(दिंडी दरवाजा) which can be seen on the fort. Shivaji Maharaj gave around 2000 hones (coins) for reconstructing the fort.
