कलावंतिणाचा सुळका हे प्रबळगडाचे उपांग असुन त्याला कलावंतिणाचा महाल म्हणुनही ओळखले जाते. प्रबळगड हा मोंगल्यांच्या ताब्यात होता. प्रबळगडाचा किल्लेदार कुणी राजपुत होता आणि त्याचे कोण्या कलावतीवर प्रेम होते. तिने निघुन जाउ नये म्हणुन त्याने तिला प्रबळगडाच्या सुळ्क्यावर ठेवले. तेव्हापासुन तो सुळका ’कलावतीचा महाल’ म्हणून ओळखला जाउ लागला. ह्या सुळक्याचे आणि ठाकरवाडीतील ठाकरांचे जिव्हाळ्याचे नाते असून दरवर्षी शिमग्याच्या सणाला सर्व ठाकर एकत्र येउन या सुळक्यावर ठाकरन्रुत्य करतात.
