About the place -
Mrugagad; also known as Bheliv Fort from name of its base village - Bheliv, is a small hill fort and takes around one hour to see it.

A pinncale of Moradi stands tall to the east of this fort.
On the way to the top, there is a cave which is bit tough to ascend. Beautiful steps are carved on the rock to reach here on which only one person can go at a time. Few water cisterns carved in the rock and remnants of old houses can be seen on the fort. The fort was used to keep a watch on the surrounding areas including Umbarkhind, Waghdari and Paymodi Ghat.
