History

The Induri (Indori) Fort in Talegaon was constructed by Sarsenapati Khandojirao Yesajirao Dabhade between 1720 and 1721. He was the elder of the two sons of Yesaji Dabhade (Bodyguard of the Maratha King, Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj) and the grandson of Bajaji Dabhade. He was conferred the hereditary title of Sardar Senapati (or Sarsenapati, Commander-in-chief, or equivalent of Duke in British peerage) by Shahuji, the grandson of Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj on 11 January. Khanderao Dabhade died at Juna Rajwada in Talegaon Dabhade near Pune, Maharashtra on 27 September 1729. His widow, Sarsenapati Umabai Dabhade, was the first and only woman to become Commander-in-Chief of the Maratha forces in 1732. Their daughter Savitribai Dabhade married Srimant Yeshwantrao Mande (Sardar or equivalent of Earl), a descendant of Moropant Trimbak Pingle, the first Peshwa of the Maratha Empire, serving on Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj's Ashta Pradhan (Council of Eight Ministers).

Khanderao Dabhade built the Induri Fort also famous as the 'Sarsenapati Dabhade Gaadi' (seat of power) at Induri in 1720–21. The Samadhi of Sarsenapati Khanderao Dabhade is situated at the Shrimant Sarsenapati Dabhade Baneshwar Mandir in Talegaon Dabhade. The current Srimant is Abhishek Mande Bhot, who ascended upon the 'Gaadi' in 1990 upon turning 15.
