Fort Panhala, Kolhapur


Panhala is one of the most well preserved forts in Maharashtra. It was a real surprise to find fort in such nice condition, if you like visiting forts, this is a must visit. Many ancient buildings are intact. All in all visit to Kolhapur was worth it. Excellent Kolhapuri mutton and pleasure of visiting Panhala.


Statue of Baji Prabhu Deshpande at the entrance. If you haven't read the history about Panhala and Baji Prabhu Deshpande, this is a good time to read. Stories of Baji Prabhu Deshpande inspire every school kid in Maharashtra! 

Salute to true bravery and commitment.
