Jawali is a small village located in the Mahadeva Mountain range of Phaltan Tehsil of the Satara district of the Indian state of Maharashtra.

History

See main article: Shivaji's Campaign of Javali.

The area was ruled by the Morè clan. The Morès claim descent from the Mauryan Dynasty of Pataliputra which ruled over the Maurya Empire, located in present day India. The Maurya Empire, and many Morè, boast of rulers like Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka. In Pre-Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj era, Morè were feudatory of Vijaynagar empire along with other highest maratha clans like Bhoite, Kadam, Salunkhe, Shinde who were under Sultanates of Deccan. Later, when they opposed King Shivaji's Maharaj Swarajya Kingdom, they were punished. After that, many more joined the Maratha cavalry of Shivaji and remained active and trusted lieutenants of Maratha Empire.

After the death of Sambhaji, the Maratha Kingdom was put into disarray. On 26 December 1697, Sardar Manajirao More along with Mansingh More, Krushnajirao More, Prataprao More helped Rajaram I reach Arni fort which was located 30 miles away. Rajaram eventually became the Chhatrapati.

During the British Raj, Jawali was under the Phaltan Princely State ruled by Royal Naik Nimbalkar.
