GHERA
Ghera Sudhagad (Sudhagad peta, 18° 30' N., 73° 15' E; RS.
Khopoli 23 m; p. 784) is a fort situated at a height of about 2,500 feet above sea level. The place is about one and a half mile from Pali. This fort is said to have been captured by one Naro Appaji in 1648 during the time of Chatrapati Sivaji Maharaj. A number of old buildings on the fort stand in a ruined condition and are therefore difficult to make out. The water-supply is from a tank. The temple of Bhorai devi
receives an annual Government grant of Rs. 2,500. A fair is held in honour of the Goddess in the month of Asvin (Sud. 1 to 10) when about 1,500 people attend. The fort is surrounded by forest. Wild animals such as bear, bhekar and rarely a tiger are seen in this forest.
