HATNOLI

Hatnoli (Khalapur p; 18°50' N 73° 15' F; RS. Karjat, 6 m.; p. 437) is situated near Cauk and is associated with the name of Desmukhs of this place who were powerful chiefs and great antagonists of Sivaji. Their palace or the vada with its extensive store house and a good many stables, though practically in ruins, serves to give an idea of the riches and the grandeur with which the Desmukhs led their lives. The documents and the letters found here have recently been handed over to Bharat Itihas Sarhsodhan Mandal, Poona.
