About Dhodap
During 850 A. D. to 1060 A. D. the Chandwad region and the Dhodap fort was ruled by the Yadav King Dhrudprahar. Chandwad was the capital (then known as handradityapur). The Khiljis conquered Dhodap and ruled here from 1312 A. D. to 1347 A. D. Then till 1487 A.D, this region was under the Brahmin rule. The Nizams conquered Dhodap and ruled it till 1637 A. D. The Nizam army could not fight against the huge army of the Mughals and so they lost the battle. History mentions the rule of the Peshwas over this region. The great ruler Raghobadada decided to revolt against Peshwas on the basis of this fort. But the Peshwas won and imprisoned Raghobadada in this very fort in 1778 A.D.
