of the Maratha Empire, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
, killed the then leader
of the Javali Valley, Chandrarao More, due to political conditions, and confiscated
this area. Around this time, Shivaji Maharaj built a
fort near Mahabaleshwar called Pratapgad.
The fortress is still owned by the descendants
of Shivaji Maharaj. The waterfall is located near
