The Rathore dynasty of Bagul ancestry reigned Baglan between 1310 and 1638. Mulher fort was their capital. The Mughals then gained control of Baglan. For the Surat ransack of January 1664 & October 1670, Shivaji Maharaj had followed the route passing through Baglan to reach Surat. On the first occasion, the entire region from Pune to Surat was under the command of the Mughals while on the second occasion, Baglan was mainly under their control. The Mughals chased Shivaji Raje on his return journey but they were defeated in the Kanchana Pass. Soon after this, Shivaji Maharaj began a campaign in this region. In January 1671 the first assault brought the Salher fort under the Maratha rule. They then attacked Mulher fort but the Mughal Killedar repulsed the attack. However, the Marathas captured the Chaulher fort. In October 1671, the Mughals laid siege to Salher fort. But Shivaji despatched Moropant and Prataprao to break down the siege. They not only lifted the siege of Salher, but also attacked Mulher and captured it in February 1672. This feat resulted in the assimilation of the entire Baglan region into Swarajya. | The Rathore dynasty of Bagul ancestry reigned Baglan between 1310 and 1638. Mulher fort was their capital.

After the last Anglo-Maratha war of 1818, there are some mentions that there are four big cannons on this fort. His names were Fattelashkar, Ramprasad, Shivprasad and Markandey. It is learned that the last cannon was melted down by the British. Two of the three cannons, Ram Prasad and Shiv Prasad, were found in a search operation in the forest in 2021-2022. On March 6, 2022, with the permission of Nashik Department of Archeology, the cannon reached Someshwar Mahadev Mandir on Mulher fort in 12 hours through fort restorers of Sahyadri Pratishthan. | |||
