This area is steeped in the history of Shivaji Maharaj, who trapped his enemies in these ravines. An Uzbek general, Kartalab Khan, was sent by Shaista Khan on a mission to attack and reduce the number of forts under Shivaji's control in the Konkan region on 3 February 1661. He left his camp near Pune with 30,000 troops. This time the Mughals did not march openly and took circuitous back country routes, as they sought to surprise Shivaji. But instead Shivaji surprised them at a pass known as 'Umber Khind' (in a dense forest, near present-day), and attacked them from all sides. Marathas hidden in the dense forest executed a well co-ordinated ambush attack on the Mughal army. The battle is known for the strategic manner in which Chhatrapati Shivaji deployed his forces and rapid movement that his cavalry was able to achieve. Unhere Hot Water Spring :
Just 1 km from Pali Ganesh Mandir is a hot water spring at village Uddhar. The water here is known for its medicinal sulphur content believed to cure even some skin ailments. | ||
