  14. Frontviewof Raigad • It was at Raigad, capital of the Maratha kingdom, that Shivaji's coronation ceremony took place in 1674 AD. Strategically perched atop a wedge-shaped hill, Raigad is split off from the Western Ghats and inaccessible from three sides. The only path that leads to the top starts from Pachad, 24 kms away from Mahad, and is extremely challenging. Once at the top of the hill, visitors can wander through the mile-long market, mansions of Shivaji's eight-member council, elephant stables and the queen's mansions and around Gangasagar lake, said to have been filled by the waters of the sacred river Ganga at the time of the coronation. The Jagadishwar temple and Shivaji's samadhi, where the remains of this great warrior are enshrined are also popular sightseeing destinations. Steep cliffs surround Raigad, and Takmak cliff and Lingmala rockface are particular favourites with adventurous mountaineers.
