GANGAVALI
Gangavali (Mangahv T. RS. Mumbra 84 m.; p. 573) lies at a
distance of four miles to the east of Mangahv and has much historical importance. It was the birth place of Sahu, the son of Sambhaji and the grandson of Sivaji. A story is told that as the enemies were on the heels of Sambhaji, he, thinking that his Queen Yesubai, then in an advanced stage of pregnancy would not be able to ride far, left her in a potter's hut and here his Queen gave birth to a son who came to be later called Sahu. On that very spot, a Sahkar Mandir was constructed later by Nanasaheb
Pesva to commemorate his benefactor. The temple is in good condition. The old road used to pass via Pali Yeal, Nizampur, Saiave, Gangoli, Kadapur, Palasganv and Pacad.
