Chandana(2004)Landforms influences the distributional patterns of population both macro and micro scales. Physiographical, the western part of the district is represented by highly rugged and separated terrain of theWestern Ghats with peaks like Kalsubai (1646m) and Trimbak (1294m) low lying plains mark the eastern southern parts. The highest height in the district is 1567 meters near Salher fort. The easterly flowing Godavari and Girna Rivers with their tributaries constitute the main drainage system in this district. Mangi–Tungi is uppermost peak appears in this range (1331 meters altitude). Selbari pass lies near east of this peak. Alternative parallel range is Salher-Mulher range. Satmala-Chandwad range runs across study region from west to southeast direction having highest peak Dhodap (1451 meters). Saptashring peak (1420 meters), Indrai (1410 meters) and Chandwad (1217 meters) appears in this range. Towards southwest, twin forts, namely, Anki and Tanki are located at the height of 960 meters in study region. This range is highly dissected by streams. Satmala-Chandwad range forms water divide between Girna and Godavari river basins. This range passes through Kalwan, Dindori, Devola, Niphad, Chandwad and Nandgaon tahsils. In south part, Trimbak-Anjaneri range stretches towards east from Bhaskargad. These ranges run through Nashik and Igatpuri tahsils. Harishgad (1113 meters) and Brahmagiri (1210 meters) are in south part in study region. The slope of this region is steep and forms cliffs in this range. This range is the source of river Godavari River at altitudes of 1274 meters. Anjaneri range runs east to west at the altitude of 1100 meters consisting irregular group of hills forming water divide between Godavari, Darna and Vaitarna River. On southern boundary, Kalasubai range stretches eastward. The highest peak of Maharashtra state, namely, Kalasubai (1646 meters) lies in this range The third physiographic division look like in east part in study region and it is characterized by occurrence of several off-shoots in eastward and southeastward. The height of this plateau varies from 400 to 600 meters and slope is towards east. This area covers 59 percent geographical area and is widely spreads over Malegaon, Nandgaon, Niphad, 48 Yeola, Sinner, east Nashik and Deola tahsils. In north, lands are deeply dissected and have found gullies on rough terrain of very poor soils. Godavari and its tributaries are flowing toward south part in study region. It forms broad valley of alluvial deposit in south, central and east parts in Nashik and Niphad tahsils and has high soil fertility. This area is moderately productive. Sinner plateau is located in southeast having rough slopping ground. 3.2.3 Drainage System: The streams of the region have taken advantage of these plans of weakness in carving their valley as in shown by the following features streams generally run into one or other of these three sets of directions. The district is drained by two chief rivers the Girna and the Godavari and their tributaries the watershed between these being the Stamatas range. There are a number of small Konkan Rivers draining westwards into the Arabian Sea. 3.2.4 Konkan Rivers: Innumerable small streams flow down the western scarp of the Sahyadris draining towards the Arabian Sea. The downghat Konkan tract is a highly dissected region lying to the west of the Sahyadri edge of the Deccan plateau Bhima, Vaitarna, Damanganga, par, Nar etc. are the most important Konkan Rivers. This region receives maximum rainfall during the rainy season. These rivers are non-perennial rivers because of physiography and shortest distance of the river. 3.2.5 Girna River Basin: The Girna basin lies to the east of the Sahyadries and north of the Satmala. The Girna rises just south of the Cherai village at about 8km south west of Hatgad in the Sahyadries. It flows almost due east along a wide bed, with high banks in some parts, but generally low enough to permit the use of water for irrigation several dams have been built across the main stream irrigating large areas of garden land. The Girna its upper course receives several tributaries of nearly its own size and equally useful for irrigation. Some important tributaries of the Girna are Tambdi, Punand, Mosam, Panjan and Mainad. 3.2.6 The Godavari River Basin: The Godavari is a most celebrated river not only of the district, but also of the whole peninsular India. The Godavari rises in the Sahyadri range near Trimbak and drains Nashik and Niphad Tahsils, after passing the town of Trimbak, the Godavari turn to the east cutting a deep and rocky bed. Many small streams meet the Godavari the most important amongst them are the Kadva, the Kashyapi the Nasardi and the Darna. 49 The catchment area of Godavari basin is 7013 square km. Kashypi, Darna, valdevi, Banganga etc. is the well know Tributaries of Godavari.

    JIWAJI University Gwalior(MP) MA History second semester Paper Title – History Of Maratha (1627 - 1761) Course Code – 204 Unit - 5 Balaji Bajirao and Third Battle Of Panipat Date – 06/04/2020 Sanjay Mohan Balaji Baji Rao Balaji Bajirao Peshwa (December 8, 1720 – June 23, 1761), also known as Nana Saheb, was a Peshwa (prime minister) of the Maratha Empire in India. He was appointed as Peshwa in 1740 upon the death of his illustrious father, the Peshwa Bajirao I. During his tenure, the Chhatrapati (Maratha king) was reduced to a mere figurehead. At the same time, the Maratha empire started transforming into a confederacy, in which individual chiefs — such as the Holkars, the Scindias and the Bhonsles of Nagpur kingdom — became more powerful. During Balaji Rao's tenure, the Maratha territory reached its zenith. A large part of this expansion, however, was led by the individual chiefs of the Maratha Empire. By the end of Balaji Baji Rao's tenure, the Peshwa was reduced to more of a financier than a general. Unlike his father, Balaji Baji Rao was not a great military leader and failed to gauge the seriousness of Durrani invasions in northern India. This ultimately resulted in a devastating Maratha defeat at the Third Battle of Panipat.[3] Some judicial and revenue reforms were made during his tenure, but the credit for these goes to his cousin Sadashivrao Bhau and his associate Balshastri Gadgil. THIRD BATTLE OF PANIPAT(1761) The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761, at Panipat, about 60 miles (95.5 km) north of Delhi between a northern expeditionary force of the Maratha Empire and a coalition of the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Durrani with two Indian Muslim allies—the Rohilla Afghans of the Doab, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Oudh.

    Ahilyabai Holkar Author: Sandhya Taksale Illustrator: Priyankar Gupta A chance encounter (1733) “Look at these beautiful horses and elephants! Who brought them here?” squealed Ahilya. Reluctantly, she tore her eyes away from the beautiful animals – it would get dark soon! She hurried inside the temple and lit a lamp. Ahilya closed her eyes and bowed in prayer. 2/23 Little did she know that she was being watched by Malharrao. He was the brave and mighty Subedar, a senior Maratha noble, of the Malwa province. On his way to Pune, he had camped in the village of Chaundi in Maharashtra. It was his horses and elephants that Ahilya had admired. “She has something special about her. She would make a good bride for my son, Khanderao,” Malharrao thought. In those days, marriages happened early. 3/23 Off to Indore Ahilya was the daughter of the village head, Mankoji Shinde. She hailed from a shepherd family. In those days, girls were not sent to school. Society considered the role of women as only managing the household and taking care of the family; educating a girl was not given importance. But Ahilya’s father thought differently and taught her to read and write. After Ahilya and Khanderao were married, Ahilya went to Indore, which was in the Malwa province, as the Holkar family’s daughter-in- law. The rest is history. She was destined to become a queen! 4/23 Who was Ahilyabai? Three hundred years ago, Maharani Ahilyabai ruled the Maratha-led Malwa kingdom for 28 years (1767-1795 A.D).
