The Prabalgad Fort stands at an elevation of 2,300 feet (700 m) in the Western Ghats. The fort was previously known as Muranjan until it was taken over and renamed by the Maratha forces under Chatrapati Shivaji's rule.[1] Its sister fort is Irshalgad.[2] Right next to Prabalgad, to its north, lies the steep Kalavantin pinnacle.
