No one can say for sure how many forts there were in Swarajya at the time of Maharaj’s death. Because according to the information I got, at the time of Maharaj’s death, there were at least 240 and maximum 373 forts in Swarajya. Some have recorded their number as 317, some as 350, some as 360, some as 361 and some as 370. Anyway, many history researchers have confirmed that there should have been 360 forts at the time of Maharaj’s death. So let us assume the same number and continue.

Out of these 360 ​​forts, 145 forts were built by Maharaj. Their details are as follows :
