Detail InformationEdit
Samadhi of Sambhji Raje Bhonsle , (Son of Shivaji) and Kavi Kulesh were arrested at Sangameshwar in konkan & later moved to Bahadurgad near Bhima river. First Kavi Kulesh & later on March 11, 1689, Sambhaji Raje was brutally murdered at Tulapur by Aurangzeb (Mughal Empire), reportedly by tearing him apart from the front and back with ‘Wagh Nakhe (Tiger claws, a kind of weapon), and was beheaded with an axe. This grievous death was given to him at Vadhu on the banks of Bhima river, near Pune. To prevent his body from getting the last rites of a Hindu, it was hacked, and the pieces thrown into the river Bhima. However, a community that lived on the banks of the river retrieved the pieces of his body, and sewed them together. This community is to this day known as “Shewale” (literally “those that sewed”). In defiance of the Mughal Emperor’s orders, his mortal remains were then cremated by the brave villagers of Vadhu, a village not far from Tulapur.
