Sarasgad: The eight
places, which are important pilgrimages of Ganesh, are called
“Ashtavinayak”. Lord Ganesh of Pali is named Ballaleshwar. Sarasgad is
situated on the borders of Pali, off Mumbai - Goa highway.
The fort has good fortification and climb on the rock hewn steps is
steep. One should take care while climbing it in rainy season. There are
couple of water cisterns, many caves and a lake on the Fort. Entrance
to teh fort is in very good condition and is known as Dindi Darwaja. The
top of the fort gives a magnificent view of Amba river and the
surround region. Forts like Sudhagad, Telbaila, Ghanagad etc, can be
seen from top.
