Devgad taluka

Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, India consisting of 98 villages.

Raja Bhoja II built Fort Vijaydurg (Gheria), ruled later by Adil Shah and eventually by Shivaji.

There is a wall under the sea at shores of the Vijaydurg built such that an enemy's ships, trying to attack, would crash and sink.
