Purandhar Taluka, with Saswad as its headquarters, is a historically rich and scenic region that forms a crucial part of Maratha heritage. It is home to the legendary Purandar Fort, where Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was born and where Shivaji Maharaj once signed a treaty with the Mughals. The fort today is a popular trekking and paragliding spot offering breathtaking Sahyadri views.

Saswad, one of the oldest towns in Maharashtra, houses temples and structures dating back to the Peshwa era, including the Samadhi of Sant Sopan Dev, brother of Sant Dnyaneshwar. The Kundeshwar Temple and Mastani Lake add to the taluka’s spiritual and historical appeal.

Surrounded by green hills and valleys, Purandhar is also famous for its traditional culture, folk art, and weekly markets. The taluka’s calm ambiance and scenic countryside make it a popular location for heritage walks, photography, and monsoon drives.

For travelers seeking history, devotion, and serenity in one place, Purandhar Taluka offers a perfect window into Maharashtra’s glorious past and natural charm
