Gawilghur (also, Gavalgadh, Gawilgarh or Gawilgad, Pronunciation: [ɡaːʋilɡəɖ]) was a well-fortified mountain stronghold of the Maratha Empire north of the Deccan Plateau, in the vicinity of Melghat Tiger Reserve, Amravati District, Maharashtra. It was successfully assaulted by an Anglo-Indian force commanded by Arthur Wellesley on 15 December 1803 during the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The campaign to take Gawilghur is portrayed in the novel Sharpe's Fortress by Bernard Cornwell, the third in a series of books covering Richard Sharpe's service in the British army in India during the Napoleonic era.

  • Gavilgad (Marathi गाविलगड Gāvilgaḍ; auch Gawilgarh, Gawilghur oder Gawilghar) war eine starke Bergfestung der Marathen nördlich des Deccan-Plateaus im heutigen Maharashtra und nahe am gelegen. Am 15. Dezember 1803 wurde die Festung während des zweiten Marathenkrieges von britischen Streitkräften und Einheiten der Ostindienkompanie unter Arthur Wellesley, dem späteren Herzog von Wellington, eingenommen. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt galt Gavilgad wegen seiner Lage auf einer unzugänglichen Bergspitze als uneinnehmbar. (de)

  • Gawilghur (anche Gawilgarh o Gawilgad) era una roccaforte montana fortificata appartenente all'impero Maratha e situata a nord dell'altopiano del Deccan, nelle vicinanze della riserva di tigri di Melghat, nel distretto di Amravati appartenente allo stato indiano del Maharashtra. Fu assaltata con successo dalle forze anglo-indiane comandate dal Arthur Wellesley il 15 dicembre 1803 durante la seconda guerra anglo-maratha. Nella cultura popolare, la campagna per prendere Gawilghur è conosciuta poiché costituisce l'ambientazione del romanzo Assalto alla fortezza di Bernard Cornwell, il terzo di una trilogia di libri che descrivono le avventure dell'eroe Richard Sharpe appartenente all'armata britannica stanziata in India durante il periodo dell'età napoleonica.
