They enabled Shivaji to withstand a 5-month siege by Siddhi Johar.[21] It consists of three buildings called the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati Kothis. The Ganga kothi, which was the largest, had a capacity of 25,000 khandis[23] (with one khandi being 650 lbs). It covers an area of 950 sq m and is 10.5 m high.[24] Rice, nachni and warai were the major provisions stored.[19] Stairs on both sides lead the top of the buildings. It has sixteen bays each with its own flat vault with a hole on top through which grain used to be passed.[3] The eastern entrance has a domed chamber with a balcony and plasterwork of the Bijapuri style.[25] వికీ
