History:
Malvan is this cool town in Maharashtra, India. It’s got a really interesting history!
Later on, the British came into the scene in the 19th century. They did their colonial thing, changing things up a bit. Nowadays, Malvan is known for its stunning beaches, water activities, and, of course, that historic Sindhudurg Fort. It’s become quite the tourist hotspot!
So, a long time ago, way back in ancient times, different dynasties like the Mauryas and Chalukyas ruled there. Then, in the 16th century, the Adil Shahi dynasty from Vijapur took over. But the most exciting part was during Shivaji Maharaj’s time in the 17th century. He built this awesome fort called Sindhudurg right on an island near Malvan. It was like his super cool naval base!
