 So far, Professor Sachin Joshi has mapped 58 of the roughly 350 forts in the state with the help of GPS. These are lesser-known forts, which makes the mapping of the others all the more important. The forts mapped so far include Manikgad, Vishramgad, Mangad, Chandragad, Alibagug, Khanderi-Underi and Revadanda.
