For this episode we will camp right at the heart of Vasai and travel to a city from the 16th century. Located very close to the financial capital of Mumbai, The Vasai Fort (or The Fort of Vasai) with its rich history has been home to a dynamic group of population and its architecture carries within itself the stories of many centuries.  Ranging from the Portuguese advent and their growing prosperity in the region to the local rebellion, the many exchange of hands leading to its final ownership and subsequent downfall; the fort has had numerous tales to tell and we'll listen to all of them in this week's episode.
