Panhala Sightseeing - Ambarkhana Fort

While at Panhala you must visit Ambarkhana. Built by the Marathas, Ambarkhana Fort housed the administrative division as well as an elegant palace, the Mint, and the granaries for the armies. Since the soil on the ranges was laterite and thus unsuitable for cultivation, provisions had to be stockpiled. The ancient building also known as the "Dhanyancha Kothar" was designed to store large quantities of food grains.

Titled Ganga, Jamuna, and Saraswati, the granaries could store as much as 25,000 khandis of grain. However, the focus point of this fort is its spectacular Teen Darwaja or the Three Gates that provide entry inside the fort.
