History

Ruins of the Bhavani temples palatial buildings in Prachitigad and Kalavantin vihir depict the medieval glory of the Maratha Empire. Most of the protected area was used an open jail for the "prisoners of war" of the early Imperial Maratha Conquests during Shivaji's rule. Sambhaji used Prachitgad as an observation point and recreational place.
