The fortification protecting Panse Wada is called "Kate Darwaja". The door has long nails stamped into it, sharp side up. The idea is to prevent elephants from banging and demolishing the door in war times. The door looks thorny, thus named as "Kate Darwaja".

Just outside Kate Darwaja, there is a 'samadhi' of Sardar Bhivrao Panse, the maratha artilley maestro who fought and met heroic death in Third War of Panipat. His wife went 'satee' and her monument also exists alongside.

Inside Kate Darwaja, there is a residential area and Gopalkrishna Mandir from times of Peshwas.

We Panse's gather there every year to commemorate our brave ancestor.

Thank you for posting pics of Malhargad - they are truly mesmerising!
