"Tough times don't last, tough men do..."
The Marathas had their backs against the wall when the highly capable Bijapuri general, Siddi Johar, besieged the strong fort of Panhala.
With no other option left, Maharaj chose a risky escape, fleeing from Panhala with 600 Mawlas on a dark, rainy night.
The Marathas were on the run, chased by Bijapuri armies for over 20 hours and 40 miles.
This daring escape became one of the most adventurous events in Maratha history, where 300 Bandal soldiers and their brave leader sacrificed their lives at the narrow pass of Pawankhind.
Come hear the story of the extreme sacrifice of Shivaji Kadhid, Baji Prabhu Deshpande, and 300 Bandal warriors, who stood against all odds, holding back the enemy until their king reached safety.
