Panhala
The
history of Panhala is also the history of the Marathas.
There are innumerable places of interest, each with its share of haunting anecdotes.
Sajja Kothi, where Sambhaji was imprisoned. Ambabai Temple, where Shivaji used
to seek blessings before venturing on expeditions. Pavankhind, where Baji Prabhu
laid down his life to cover Shivaji's escape.
Or course, a historical interest cannot be the only reason to take a holiday.
Panhala, at an altitude of 977 m. and with an average temperature of 25 °C
offers you some inspiring scenery and a soothing climate.
