the 17th century. The fort was used mainly to keep close watch on the ‘Dhawalya
Ghat’ route. 7-8 kms from Dhawale village is Umarathwhich is birth place of

The
history of Mahabaleshwar dates back to 1215 when it was visited by Jadav king
of Devgiri. He built a small temple and water tank at the source of river
Krishna. Around 1350, Brahmin dynasty took over power and gave the area peace
and prosperity. In the middle of the 16th century the Maratha family of
Chandarao More, became rulers of Javli and Mahabaleshwar, during which period
the temple of Old Mahabaleshwar was rebuilt. In the 17th century it was taken
over by ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharaj. He overran Javli and Mahabaleshwar and
constructed the impregnable fort at Pratapgad in 1656.
