Sinhagad was strategically built to provide natural protection from the enemies due to the very steep slopes of the hill it was built upon. There are two entry gates called Pune darwaja and Kalyan darwaja to get into fort. Pune darwaja is towards north east while the Kalyan darwaja is towards the southeast. The fort houses memorials of the Maratha general, Tanaji Malusare as well as that of Rajaram I, the third Maratha Chhatrapati. The original commemorative memorial of Tanaji Malusare was unearthed by the restoration workers in February 2019. The stone structure was found buried under cement, concrete, and layers of oil paint and is believed to be around 350 years old. There is military stable, a brewery and a temple of the goddess Kali along with a Hanuman statue to the right side of the temple.
