The sides of the hill are nearly perpendicular and rocky.
The hill fort of Parasgad includes a shrine of Lord Maruti (Hanuman) which is presently in a ruined state. A staircase from the fort leads to the Yadravi village. A water reservoir known as Ramatheertha is located near the fortress. There is also a cave which consists of various images of Hindu gods and goddesses, such as Lord Rama, Sita, Lord Parashurama, Jamadagni and a Shiva Linga (Lingam) with Nandi.
