Vasota Fort (also called Vyaghragad (व्याघ्रगड)) is located in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

[1] It was famously defended by Tai Telin a mistress of Pant Pratinidhi a killedar of the fort when he was captured.

Chatrapati Shivaji renamed the fort "Vyaghragad" (Vyaghra – means tiger), owing to its difficult natural defense.

[citation needed] In 1818 the British bombarded the fort with heavy artillery, destroying many buildings on Vasota (Chandika mandir, Daru-kothar, etc.)

Vasota Fort is located about 70 km from satara near Bamnoli village on the banks of Shivsagar lake.
