30 km from city of Pune, with spectacular view of Khadakwasla dam & villages on the way, comes enigmatic Sinhagad Fort. Enigmatic in the sense that i was looking for\u00a0 the fort but didn’t realize that i’m already walking inside it. There was no fort as such, only a park, museum and tomb surrounded by fort wall on hill. There were food & tea stalls inside fort\u00a0premises where i enjoyed Maharashtrian food Pitla Bhakri & Kanda Bhaji which was too spicy for me to eat but tasty. On way back was Tanaji Malusare Samadhi, who was general of Maratha leader Shivaji and fought alongside him. He is known for his martyrdom in Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 A.D. Tanaji was gravely wounded and died fighting on the battlefield. Shivaji renamed Kondhana fort to Sinhagad in memory of Tanaji.<\/p>\n
In this film, this was a yellow memorial & tomb marking the place of death of Shreemant Chhatrapati Rajaram Raje Bhosale, who was the younger son of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji,\u00a0 and half-brother of Sambhaji.<\/p>\n
