Panhala fort (also known as Panhalgad(पन्हाळा,पन्हाळगड In Marathi), Pahalla and Panalla (literally the home of serpents)) is located in Panhala, 20 kilometers northwest of Kolhapur in Maharashtra, India. It is strategically located looking over a pass in the Sahyadri mountain range which was a major trade route from Bijapur in the interior of Maharashtra to the coastal areas.[1] Due to its strategic location, it was the centre of several skirmishes in the Deccan involving the Marathas, the Mughals and the British East India Company, the most notable being the Battle of Pavan Khind. Here, the queen regent of Kolhapur State, Tarabai, spent her formative years. Several parts of the fort and the structures within are still intact.

Panhala fort was built between 1178 and 1209 CE, one of 15 forts (others including Bavda, Bhudargad, Satara, and Vishalgad) built by the Shilahara ruler Bhoja II. It is said that aphorism Kahaan Raja Bhoj, kahan Gangu Teli is associated with this fort. A copper plate found in Satara shows that Raja Bhoja held court at Panhala from 1191–1192 CE. About 1209–10, Bhoja Raja was defeated by Singhana (1209–1247), the most powerful of the Devgiri Yadavas, and the fort subsequently passed into the hands of the Yadavas. Apparently it was not well looked after and it passed through several local chiefs. In 1376 inscriptions record the settlement of Nabhapur to the south-east of the fort.[2]
It was an outpost of the Bahamanis of Bidar. Mahmud Gawan, an influential prime minister, encamped here during the rainy season of 1469. On the establishment of the Adil Shahi dynasty of Bijapur in 1489, Panhala came under Bijapur and was fortified extensively. They built the strong ramparts and gateways of the fort which, according to tradition, took a hundred years to build. Numerous inscriptions in the fort refer to the reign of Ibrahim Adil Shah, probably Ibrahim I (1534–1557).[3]
In 1659, after the death of the Bijapur general Afzal Khan, in the ensuing confusion Shivaji Maharaj took Panhala from Bijapur.[4] In May 1660, to win back the fort from Shivaji, Adil Shah II (1656–1672) of Bijapur sent his army under the command of Siddi Jauhar to lay siege to Panhala. Shivaji Maharaj fought back and they could not take the fort. The siege continued for 5 months, at the end of which all provisions in the fort were exhausted and Shivaji Maharaj was on the verge of being captured.
Under these circumstances, Shivaji Maharaj decided that escape was the only option. He gathered a small number of soldiers along with his trusted commander Baji Prabhu Deshpande and, on 13 July 1660,[5] they escaped in the dead of night to flee to Vishalgad. Baji Prabhu and a barber, Shiva Kashid, who looked like Shivaji Maharaj, kept the enemy engaged, giving them an impression that Shiva Kashid was actually Shivaji Maharaj. In the ensuing battle (see Battle of Pavan Khind), almost three quarters of the one thousand strong force died, including Baji Prabhu himself.[6][7] The fort went to Adil Shah. It was not until 1673 that Shivaji Maharaj could occupy it permanently.
Sambhaji, Shivaji's son and successor to the throne, fell out of favor with his father. Shivaji imprisoned Sambhaji in Panhal .[8] He escaped from here along with his wife on 13 December 1678[9] and attacked Bhupalgad. He returned to Panhala, however, on 4 December 1679 to reconcile with his father[9] just before his father's death on 4 April 1680. At the height of Shivaji's power in 1678, Panhala housed 15,000 horses and 20,000 soldiers.[10] also the main darwaza was chaar darwaza.

Amberkhana in Panhala Fort Kolhapur
The Amberkhana, situated in the center of the fort, were three granaries built in the Bijapuri style of architecture. 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.[20] 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.[2] The eastern entrance has a domed chamber with a balconey and plasterwork of the Bijapuri style.[25]

#panhala #kolhapur
Sajja Kothi is the tallest standing structure on Panhala . In its day it was the most important building on the fort. Sajja meaning Balcony and kothi meaning a house . Sajja kothi literally translates to a house with balcony. It was also known as Sadar- e -maha. It is said that Shivaji Maharaj planned his escape in this building during the siege of Panhala by Siddi johar.
Padkotatil Mhasoba is a deity located between the main wall and a second protective wall of the fort. It is a beautifully carved human face on a stone and looks quite ancient.The surroundings are calm and peaceful.
Tabak udyan is right next to sajja kothi. it was built in the british era and now is under the forest department of india. we have to enter it through wagh darwaja which is one of the important doors to the fort. this entrance is heavily protected with various buruj ( watch towers)
last but not the least comes dutondi buruj the view from here was staggering. it gets it's name from two staiorcases leading to the top

Day 2 - MASAI PLATEAU | PANHALA FORT | RIDE TO MAHARASTARA | GoPro | MOTO SAPIEN |
This Video is Day 2 of our 4 Days Ride to Maharastra.
If you haven't watched the day 1 yet... Please do watch it :)
Day 2 started from Kholapur at 9 A.M. We visited the New Palace of kholapur which is inside the city.
It was constructed between 1877–1884. Being an excellent specimen of architecture built in black polished stone, it has been an attraction for tourists. It has extensive premises with a garden, fountain and wrestling ground. The whole building is eight-angled and has a tower in the middle. The clock on it was fixed in 1877. At separate distances there are small towers. On every glass are painted the events in Shivaji's life. There is a zoo and a ground lake. Even today, it is the residence of Chhatrapati Shahu, the direct descendent of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of Maratha Empire.
After The New palace we visted Panhala Fort which was around 20 Kms from Kholapur. Panhala fort is around 5 Kms radius fort which has 3 to 5 good view points.
It is strategically located looking over a pass in the Sahyadri mountain range which was a major trade route from Bijapur in the interior of Maharashtra to the coastal areas. Due to its strategic location, it was the centre of several skirmishes in the Deccan involving the Marathas, the Mughals and the British East India Company, the most notable being the Battle of Pavan Khind. Here, the queen regent of Kolhapur State, Tarabai, spent her formative years. Several parts of the fort and the structures within are still intact.
In the same route to Panhala fort, The diversion ahead after 3kms(right turn) the road leads to Masai Plateau.It is a known for scenic beauty and various types of seasonal wildflowers that bloom in the months of August and September.
The upcoming movie of Ranveer singh, Padmavathi was shot in Masai Plateau.
It was almost past 4P.M. whnm we had our lunch. Our plan was to go to Mahabaleshwar befor dark covering Thosheghar waterfalls on the way. But we had to travel around 140 Kms in 2 hours & The thosheghar waterfalls closes at 6 P.M.
In urge to reach thosheghar falls , we hurried & ended up in Sajjan Ghad. It was a peaceful way to end theday visiting the mandhir.
One of the person in Sajjan Ghad suggested us to stay in Satara & visit Khaas valley the next day. Since khaas valley is a beautiful flower valley, which is 2nd best flower valley in Asia, which we came to know abou it the, We decided to call it an end of the ride for that day.
The next day ride vlog will be soon :)
