A Timeless Passage: A Look Back at Malshej Ghat's History
Malshej Ghat boasts a rich history, believed to have been a vital trade route for centuries. Evidence suggests it served as a passage for ancient communities as far back as the 6th century. The surrounding region might even hold remnants of even older settlements. Today, Malshej Ghat serves as a crucial connector between Mumbai and Pune, offering a scenic alternative to the busier highways. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ysudqQ8P6ChLW...)

About Nageshwar Temple, Khireshwar.
The Nageshwar temple outside this Khireshwar village is not noticeable at first sight. But when you get close to it, you realize its magnificence and then the divinity etched in it. Before visiting the temple of Nageswara, if we explore its history a little, a different story of the 10th century comes before us. During this period, a king named Zhanj of the Shilahar clan was ruling the region. A devotee of Shiva, this king built twelve temples at the source of twelve major rivers between Godavari and Bhima rivers. These temples are very elaborate and rich in sculptures. It is mentioned in a copper plate found at Panhale in Konkan.
