Type: Land Fort
Base: Vari (Akola District)
Grade: Easy
The next fort after Narnala in Akola dist was Bhairavgad (Vari). The route we took was Narnala - Shahnur - Akot - Hivarkhed - Vari (60kms).
This fort is a land fort and very small on top of a small hill in the village of Vari. The fort has no recorded history , except that the Village Vari has some history in the times of Rashtrakuta Kings during the existance of the Pandavas.
The only structures on the fort remaining are the entrance door and a bastion , both of which are in bad shape today. A Shiv temple is being constructed inside the fort now.
