History

 

Like many other forts, this is not known as Kailam, who originally built the fort. But around 1485, this place came to Malik Ahmed, the founder of Nizam Shahi of the town. After becoming Shahaziraj Nizamshahi director, the Mughal army of Fauja and the Adilshahi army of Delhi jointly tried to make Nizamshahi. In the year 1635-36, Shahaji shifted Jijabai and Bal Shivaji with Mahuli Mukti from Junnar-Shivneri as a strong shelter in difficult circumstances. The mahabatkhana's son sang Mahulali, because the guest is Khan. ShahajiRaje sought help from the Portuguese. But when they refused, Shahaji surrendered. Later on 1658, Shivaji Maharaj returned this fort from the Mughals. But in 1661 he had to repay the Mughals. It was the only way back to winning. In 1665, the fortification of the Purandar had to be defeated. After that, Manohardas Gaud, the Mughals, took charge of the strategic businessman Sardar Mahuli. He built a lot of construction on the fort. In February 1670, the attack on Mahuli failed under the leadership of Shivaji Maharaj. Thousands of mavalya, half a thousand mavalya cut by the Mughals. Marathis lost their weight. After this success Manohardas Gaudane left the fortune. Alavardi Beg became the fort in his place. Then on 16th June, 1670, after two months, the blood of 200 Mughal soldiers was sacked. Moropant Pingale Mahuli The trio of Palasgad and Bhandargada were inducted into Swarajya.
