Fort Rohida or Vichitragad as it is called in Marathi is located 65 km away from Pune on the Pune–Satara Highway near Bhor. The fort was re-developed during the rule of Adilshah of Bijapur before the birth of Chhatrapati Shivaji. The word Rohida is derived from the Persian language.

Many years later, Chhatrapati Shivaji created a department called Rajvyawahar Kosh (administrative department) whose major task was to change Farsi names to Devnagari. However, the exact reason why the fort was renamed as “Vichitragad” is still not known.
