Sahyadri: Ancient Global Significance

Hidden within the rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Sahyadri mountains lies a history far richer than commonly known. Sahyadri: Ancient Global Significance uncovers the timeless legacy of this ancient landscape, exploring its role as a crossroads of civilizations, faiths, and trade routes that connected India to the rest of the world.

From the rock-cut Buddhist monasteries of Shivneri and Lenyadri to the strategic fortresses of Harishchandragad, Lohgad, and Ratangad, this book traces the Sahyadris’ evolution from spiritual sanctuaries to military strongholds. It delves into the intricate networks of trade that linked these historic sites to the Roman Empire, Persia, and the Far East—long before colonial powers arrived in India.

Through meticulous research and personal exploration, Sujay Kamble brings to life the grandeur of the past, shedding light on how these sites shaped the cultural and political landscape of Maharashtra and beyond.
