Gawilgarh

Also known as Gawilghur

Gawilgarh is a ruined hill fortress in the Satpura range in the Amravati district of Maharashtra, India, above the town of Chikhaldara. It was strengthened by the Bahmani and Imad Shahi rulers of Berar and later held by the Marathas. In December 1803, during the Second Anglo-Maratha War, it was stormed by British forces under Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington.
