	In 1827, under Shahoji I (1821–1837), Pavangad and its neighboring fort [[Panhala fort\|Panhala]] were given over to the British Raj. In 1844, during the minority of [[Shivaji IV]] (1837–1860), Panhala and Pavangad were taken by rebels who seized Colonel Ovans, the Resident of [[Satara (city)\|Satara]], when he was on tour and imprisoned him in Panhala. A British force under General Delamotte was sent against the rebels and on 1 December 1844 breached Panhala fort walls, took it by storm. Shortly thereafter in 1844, the two main entrances of ~~Pawangad~~ were pulled down and the fort was dismantled.
