==Details==
The composer-cum-singers of the powadas are known as ''Shahir''s. The professional powada singers formed a guild or caste known as the ''Gondhali''s. The earliest notable powada was ''The Killing of Afzal Khan'' (''अफझल खानाचा वध'') by Agnidas, which recorded [[Shivaji|Shivaji's]] encounter with [[Afzal Khan (general)|Afzal Khan]]. The next notable powada was ''Tanaji Malusare'' (''[[Tanaji Malusare|तानाजी मालुसरे]]'' ) by Tulsidas, which gave an account of the capture of [[Sinhagad Fort]] by [[Tanaji Malusare|Tanaji]].<ref>Majumdar, R.C. (ed.) (2007). ''The Mughul Empire'', Mumbai: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, {{Listed Invalid ISBN|81-7276-407-1}}, p.584</ref> Another notable contemporary powada was ''Baji Pasalkar'' (''बाजी पसाळकर'' ) by Yamaji Bhaskar. They are also mentioned in the 13th century [[Marathi language|Marathi]] scripture [[Dnyaneshwari]].<ref name=":0" />

During the [[Maratha Confederacy]] rule, several celebrated ''Shahir'' poet-singers, which include [[Ram Joshi]] (1762–1812), [[Anant Phandi]] (1744–1819), [[Honaji Bala]] (1754–1844) and Prabhakar (1769–1843), [[Annabhau Sathe]] (1920 - 1969), Atmaram Patil and Amar Sheikh composed a number of powadas.

About sixty ''powada''s were collected by [[Harry Arbuthnot Acworth]] and [[S. T. Shaligram]] and published under the title, ''The Saga of Historical Heroic Men and Women'' (''इतिहास प्रसिद्ध महापुरुषांचे व स्त्रियांचे पोवाडे '') in 1891. Out of these, ten ''powada''s were translated into [[English language|English]] verse by H. A. Acworth and published as ''Ballads of the Marathas'' in 1894.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gupta|first=Manik Lal|title=Sources of Mughal History|year=1989|publisher=Atlantic|location=New Delhi|isbn=81-7156-125-X|page=89|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rxD3hZox2ZMC&q=Acworth+Shaligram+Marathi+Ballads&pg=PA89}}</ref>
