04 murud - jaljira (janjira) island fortress
An island fortess on coastal maharashtra. Several centuries ago, a Siddhi merchant from Africa had problem with his ships close to this island. He sought the permission of the chieftain of the mainland to dock his ships, carry out repairs (that can last several months) and then move on. The chieftain, whose mansion is on a hill nearly opposite the island refused permission fearing adverse influence of the foreign merchant and his crews on the locals. The merchant docked his ships nevertheless and built defences on the island. The local chieftain lost in the ensuing battle (could not take control of the island). The siddhi kings ruled the island for a couple of centuries till the British conquered India. jal = water; jaljira = fortress on water; murud is the village on the mainland.
