Satara is one of the districts of Maharashtra. It is enclosed by beautiful hill stations, temples and historical places. The number of magnificent palaces and forts were built during king Shivaji’s reign. In the era of king Shivaji the creative architectural construction was at its peak. King Shivaji did not only build the new forts but he also overhauled and restored the other old forts in his kingdom of Marathas. The high quality of constructions and architecture was not only limited to building the forts but was also implemented in the construction of other multipurpose buildings and structures. The impingement of creative and aesthetic constructions remained even after the death of Chhatrapati Shivaji. Baramotichi vihir is in a place called Limb at Satara district, it is one of the best examples of those constructions. This historical monument has become the fascinating subject for the archaeologists, students of history and historical architecture including tourist from all over world.
