The place is connected to Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the son of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Chatrapati Sambhaji maharaj was killed in Tulapur and his samādhi was built in Vadhu. Thus, both these places are historically very important. Tulapur is situated on the banks of three rivers- Bhima, Bhama and Indrayani. It is famous for the temple of Shiva. In this temple - known as Sangameshwar,Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was arrested by Aurangzeb and was later killed.
Tulapur was originally known as Nagargaon.
Vadhu is near Tulapur where Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was cremated by one of mavala Shivale, Deshmukh defing Aurangzeb threats.[1] An idol of Sambhaji was put up in 1977 in Vadhu along with Gaikwad's tomb.
