It is situated on the banks of the river Karha. The town has historical significance because of Kavi Moropant and Shri. Babuji Naik. Kavi Moropant was a gifted poet who was known for his style of shloka called 'Arya". He has written many books such as 'Kekavali', 'Harivijay' etc. Baramati was ruled by the Yadavas of Devgiri. After the fall of the Yadav rule, it was immersed in the reign of Bahamas of Gulbarga. Fortunately, we find very authentic and credible historical references of Baramati's History in the books of Dr. Shejwalkar and Mr. Grant Duff- the well known historians. According to Duff, Nijam Shah of Ahemednagar, being a tributary, gifted Baramati to Malojiraje Bhosale (grandfather of legendary Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj), in 1603. Thus Baramati was ruled by Bhonsale and later on it was included in the reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. After Aurangzeb's death, it was won by the Marathas. Around 1745, Shahu Maharaj handed over the charge of Baramati to Babuji Naik. He was the great administrator as well as the patron of arts and religion. Baramati hosts two old temples which are built around 750. One of them is of Shri Kashivishweshwar - based on the west bank of the river, the other is of Shri Siddheshwar, located on the east bank of the river. Sidheshwar Temple is considered an architectural masterpiece. The temple is located near Babuji Naik's Mansion, which houses a gigantic idol of Nandi. References to both these temples are in the great epic "Shiv Lilamrut" by another famous poet, Shridhar Swami. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baramati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
