Vasai Fort

One more addition to My First....Treasure of Maharashtra.. A gift by Portuguese... its a history... as old as 16th century!!!!

It has been 11 years I have been staying in Vasai and missed the mystical historic treasure, which is just about 30 minutes drive from station. Well, they say, its better late than never :), so here I was, with the Mumbai Weekend Shoot for a photo shoot, on a heavy rainfall day, to experience the Portugal architecture, the Fort of Vasai. What an architecture, the whole fort, its architecture, look and feel of the fort, walls, surrounding place, environment, nature, rains, it was all perfect!! Majestic!!

The structure of the fort is kind of deteriorated but its being rejuvenated by the Indian Archeological Department.

We spent about 4-5 hours in and around fort, clicking various things, like walls, the structures, the literature (only one which we could see and capture :) ), snails, rain drops, boats, anchors, waterbodies, etc. etc. etc. and to sum it up, we were clicking the whole motherly nature!!

Keeping the description concise, as the images speak better
