To the west, a road passes through the villages of Ajnuj, Kautha, and Gar before reaching State Highway 10 and the Bhima River bridge.

The Bahadurgad Incident is a well-documented example of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's military acumen and his use of deception in warfare during the establishment of the Maratha Empire.

During the mid-17th century, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj received intelligence that a consignment of 200 high-quality Arab horses, along with substantial riches, had arrived at the Bahadurgad fort, located in Pedgaon.

The plan involved deliberately leaking information about a Maratha raid on Bahadurgad, intending for Bahadur Khan to become aware of it.

As anticipated, Bahadur Khan, having learned of the supposed Maratha attack, left the main gate of the fort open and prepared his forces for defense.

Bahadur Khan, believing that he had gained the upper hand, ordered his troops to pursue the retreating Marathas, leaving the fort largely undefended.

The Mughal forces, led by Bahadur Khan, were unable to catch the retreating Marathas, who were known for their speed and the highly mobile nature of their operations.
