dbo:abstract
  • Suvarnadurg, de vegades Severndroog, Suvarndrug o Suvarndurg, és una illa i fortalesa propera a a Konkan, entre Bombai i Goa a 17 km al nord de Dapoli. La fortalesa està formada realment per dos forts: Kanakdurg a terra i Suvarnadurg a mar (a l'illa) i suposadament estaven unides per un túnel però no s'ha trobat. Fou construïda pels adilxàhides de Bijapur i conquerida per Sivaji el 1660. Inicialment va servir per fer front al sidis de Janjira i contra els europeus, i va esdevenir una base naval maratha on es construïen vaixells. El peshwa va nomenar Angria com almirall de les forces navals marathes el 1698. Dominava el 1710 la fortalesa de Severndroog, i l'illa de Vijayadurg al sud de Bombai, que feia servir com a base pels atacs als vaixells britànics i la seva audàcia el va portar a atacar fins prop del mateix Bombai i el 1712 va rebre un fort pagament per no atacar vaixells britànics de la Companyia Britànica de les Índies Orientals, pacte que va respectar. En els següents anys (1713-1714) les seves bases i poder es van incrementar i va regir un virtual principat. El seu domini va passar a la seva mort el 1729 als seus fills Sumbhaji i Mannaji i principalment el primer; van continuar els èxits en els seus atacs i el 1736 van capturar una flota de Derby amb un important carregament (tot l'or que necessitava la companyia per un any). El 1743 Tulaji Angria, germanastre de Sumbhaji, el va succeir, i va iniciar atacs fins i tot als vaixells escortes però fou atacada i destruïda per una força naval dirigida per l'almirall William James el 2 d'abril de 1755. Toolaji fou empresonat i la flota destruïda. La dona de l'almirall va construir un castell de nom Severndroog al sud-est de Londres, en commemoració de la victòria. A l'interior del fort Kanakdur, al promontori Harnai, es va construir un far. (ca)
  • Suvarnadurg (Marathi: सुवर्णदुर्ग - translation: Golden Fort, also spelt Severndroog in English, a spelling sometimes also used for Savandurga) is a fort that is located between Mumbai and Goa on a small island in the Arabian Sea, near Harnai in Konkan, along the West Coast of India, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The fort also includes another small land fort called the Kanakadurga at the base of headland of Harnai port on the coast. Building of the fort is credited to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha Empire, in 1660. Subsequently, ChatrapatiShivaji Maharaj, other ttraPeshwas and the Angres further fortified the forts for defence purposes. The literal meaning of Suvanadurga in the Marathi language is "Golden Fort" as it was considered as the pride or the "feather in the golden cap of Marathas". Built by Adilshah Navy for defence purposes, the fort also had a shipbuilding facility. The basic objective of establishing the fort was to counter enemy attacks, mainly by the colonialists of Europe and also by the local chieftains. In the past, the land fort and the sea fort were connected by a tunnel, but this is now defunct. The present approach to the sea fort is only by boats from the Harnai port on the headland. It is a protected monument. (en)
