Reaches Vishalgad after escaping Panhala
· Vishalgad Fort, Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, India
Wikimedia Commons · Public domain · file Shivaji escaped the encirclement of Panhala and reached Vishalgad while Baji Prabhu Deshpande and a rear guard delayed pursuit at Ghod Khind. His arrival at Vishalgad completed one of the best-known forced movements of his career. Older chronologies sometimes give a September date for the Panhala withdrawal; this card follows the cited modern synthesis and is therefore assigned slightly reduced confidence.
