DHAK
Dhak (T. Karjat, 18°50' N, 73°20' E; p. 544; RS. Karjat, 9 m.)
a massive flat-topped spur running west from the Sahyadris five or six miles east to Karjat, has a village and some tillage on its top. From the south-eastern and ' nearest the Sahyadris there rises a round hill 2,898 feet high, crowned with a long fort wall. On the steep south-western face of this hill are some caves most difficult of access. In the absence of any means of communication one has to climb and carry head loads. The village has a temple and a well. The village was relaid after the 1954 fire.
