  • Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India
    Pradhan, S, et al. 2020. Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India. Ancient Asia, 11: 1, pp. 1–7. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/aa.187 RESEARCH PAPER Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India Shrikant Pradhan*, Abhinav Kurkute† and Vivek Kale‡ In 1969 an early Jaina inscription was discovered from Pale cave, Taluka Mawal, District Pune, Maharashtra, by H.D. Sankalia and Shobhana Gokhale, Pune (1971: 67–69). It was an important discovery of an early Jaina inscription in western India. While studying the Pale inscription, both the authors had cited that “There must be many more such inscriptions, which need to be discovered.” Recently an inscription is noticed in one of the small rock-cut excavations group in fort Lohogad, Lohagadwadi by a group of trekking and exploration enthusiasts. While observing this inscription, it proposes some early characteristics of Brāhmī script. It is significant to mention that the Lohagadwadi inscription starts with ‘Namo arahaṁtānaṁ’ and the donor’s name Idarakhita. Interestingly, the inscription shows close affinity to the Pale cave inscription and proposes to be an important early inscription of Jainism in Maharashtra by the same donor mentioned in the Pale inscription. Probably, a small cave complex of Lohagadwadi, as primarily described in this article, dates back to the early rock-cut activity of Jainism in Maharashtra. Introduction eastern precipice, though both are located a little distance The well-known medieval fort of Lohagad is located from the above-mentioned excavations. Earlier, Burgess approximately 25 km south of Pale Cave.

  • Siva Chhatrapati, Being a Translation of Sabhasad Bakhar with Extracts from Chitnis and Sivadigvijaya, with Notes
    SIVA CHHATRAPATI Extracts and Documents relating to Maratha History Vol. I SIVA CHHATRAPATI BEING A TRANSLATION OP SABHASAD BAKHAR WITH EXTRACTS FROM CHITNIS AND SIVADIGVTJAYA, WITH NOTES. BY SURENDRANATH SEN, M.A., Premchaxd Roychand Student, Lectcrer in MarItha History, Calcutta University, Ordinary Fellow, Indian Women's University, Poona. Formerly Professor of History and English Literature, Robertson College, Jubbulpore. Published by thz UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA 1920 PRINTED BY ATCLCHANDKA BHATTACHABYYA, AT THE CALCUTTA UNIVEB8ITY PEE 88, SENATE HOUSE, CALCUTTA " WW**, #rf?fW rT, SIWiMfT, ^R^fa srre ^rtfsre wwf* Ti^vtm PREFACE The present volume is the first of a series intended for those students of Maratha history who do not know Marathi. Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, therefore, suggested that a selection in a handy form should be made where all the useful documents should be in- cluded. I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad bakhar leaving the documents for a subsequent volume. This is by no means the first English rendering of Sabhasad. Jagannath Lakshman Mankar translated Sabhasad more than thirty years ago from a single manuscript. The late Dr. Vincent A. Smith over- estimated the value of Mankar's work mainly because he did not know its exact nature. A glance at the catalogue of Marathi manuscripts in the British Museum might have convinced him that the original Marathi Chronicle from which Mankar translated has not been lost.

Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

This CD version is a part of a scheme of preparing compact discs of earlier published District Gazetteers. Satara District Gazetteer was published in 1963. It contains authentic and useful information on several aspects of the district and is considered to be of great value to administrators, scholars and general readers.

To keep pace with the changing need of hour, I have decided to bring out CD version of this edition with little statistical supplementary and some photographs. It is also made available on the website of the state government www.maharashtra.gov.in. I am sure, scholars and studious persons across the world will find this CD immensely beneficial.

  • Rajgad Fort, No Doubt India Is a Country Blessed with a Diverse and Rich History. the Spectacular Monuments Can Be Taken As a Re
    Rajgad Fort, no doubt India is a country blessed with a diverse and rich history. The spectacular monuments can be taken as a reminder that just how glorious that heritage it. India has notorious temples and phenomenal infrastructures which are just soaked in mysteries. There are numerous historical architectures i.e. India has about 2 million or more beautiful temples and about 1000 forts. India is known as the land of forts. Spread over the entire country these forts today are a popular tourist attraction. These forts are of a great significance and you could find their names mentioned in important history chapters as well. If you’re a history lover and just love to soak in all that history like me then the Rajagd Fort should really be on your bucket list. The Fort is nearly 450 years old. This was the first fort built by a great Indian warrior-king Chhatrapati Shivaji Rajgad Fort Maharaj Bhosale and was the capital of the Maratha Empire for almost 26 years. This fort is located in Pune, district Maharashtra on the hill-top offering an eye-dropping panoramic view of the city above. The King of Forts: Rajagd Fort The great Rajgad Fort (literal meaning Ruling Fort). It was formerly known as Murumdev until 1654 when its name changed to “Rajgad”. This fort is one of the 17 forts that Shivaji Maharaj kept when he signed the Treaty of Purandar. Geography: The Fort is built on a hill called Marumbadevi Dongar (The Mountain of the Goddess Murumba) close to the border Bhor- Velhe Taluka.
