Vasota Fort also called Vyaghragad is located in Satara district. The fort is in dilapidated condition and is overgrown. The remnants of Shree Mahadev mandir and the plinth of a huge "sadar" (discussion place) are there. It is a protected natural reserve. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj incorporated the fort into Swarajya in 1655 during the conquest of Javli. Shivaji renamed the fort "Vyaghragad" (Vyaghra – means tiger), owing to its difficult natural defense.
