Shirpamal is a tourist destination on Jawhar Nashik Road in Dharampur, near to Jawhar City in Maharashtra, India.[1][2]

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja marched to Surat with the Maratha army. They set up camp near the princely state of Jawhar and met the Koli ruler Vikramshah Mukne of Jawhar.[3] Together they invaded Surat. Shirpamal was the meeting place of Shivaji and Vikramshah and has since become a historical monument. Chhatrapati Shivali Maharaj Visited Shirpamal at Jawhar on 31 December 1664. On 1 May 1995 Rajaram Mukne, President of Jawhar Municipal Council erected a memorial of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at this place to commemorate this historic moment.[4][5]
