Shree Digambardas Maharaj recreated Chhatrapati Shree Shivaji Maharaj's Empire at Dervan in the form of Shiv Samarth Gad(Fort).
Shree Maharaj wanted that the very depiction of King Shivaji's valourous, chivalrous and virtuous deeds through this memorial should awaken his compatriots from the slumber of sluggishness and free them from the vices of selfishness. It was his conviction that the depiction of each memorable incident of this great personality in an exquisite form would serve the purpose of that flash of lighting, that would fill the heart of every visitor with the light and fire of the supreme form of self honour.
The following is just a glimpse depicting some of the 3 dimentional paintings and sculptures constructed/drawn along the walls of the Gad (Fort).
