PACCHAPUR

Pacchapur (Sudhagad Peta; RS. Khopoli, 28 m; p. 566) is a small village about ten miles from Pali, the taluka-headquarters. It is said that the real name of the village is "Badsaha village", i.e., "King's village" as during the reign of Nizamshahi Kingdom, the kings used to camp here. Akbar, the rebel son of Aurangzeb, along with one Vir Thakurdas, a Rajput, had come to this village to seek refuge with Sambhaji, the Maratha Raja. In this village a spot is indicated as being the place where the throne of the Prince was set. The village can be approached by a cart road but communication becomes difficult during the monsoon.
