Answer:
Siddi Habshi of Janjira
Notes: Siddi Habshi of Janjira built Gowalkot Fort in 1690 on the Vashishti River. Shivaji Maharaj captured it in 1660 but it returned to the Siddis. The fort covers two acres, contains a temple, a 22-foot deep dry well, and 22 cannons, with historical ties to the Chougle family.
