Armada



An assortment of (Shiv kaleen) weapons and tools on display in the courtyard of Bhavani Mandir. Starting with small cannons from the left, to the extreme right is a Stone-cutting tool. Wonders never cease - to think that the whole of Pratapgad (and all the other forts of its like) were built from such primitive-looking tools. But history is witness to the high effectiveness of these tools when in the right hands.
