Legend has it that Shivaji was blessed with a shining sword by Goddess Bhawani here. This was also the site of the famous battle between the Maratha Chieftain Shivaji and the Commander of the Bijapur Sultante, Afzal Khan. The fort houses the tomb of Afzal Khan. There is a temple of Bhavani Mata, the idol of worship of King Shivaji. There is a statue of Shivaji Maharaj inside the fort called Bale Killa.
Strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, fresh fruits,jams, preserves and marmalades. A must try is the American corn – more yellow and softer than the regular Indian corn. Another unique and delicious must try is ‘chikki’ – the Indian version of ‘stick jaw’ (basically a peanut and jaggery sweet preparation) – even better! Try ‘chana’ along with a dash of spices. This delicious preparation of green gram, roasted and unique to this
location, is a treat for the taste buds.The bazaars of this lovely hill station are bustling and alive offering everything from clothes to slippers and gift items.
