Veer Shiva Kashid, a fearless and loyal commander, spearheaded the valiant defense of Panhala Fort against Adil Shah's armies in 1673. With unwavering dedication, he led the brave garrison through a grueling siege, employing innovative tactics and unshakeable resolve. As the enemy breached the fort walls, Kashid's unyielding spirit inspired his men to fight on, buying precious time for Shivaji Maharaj's escape. His ultimate sacrifice will forever be etched in the annals of Maratha history, embodying the essence of courage, loyalty, and devotion to duty.

A discussion began between Siddi Johar and Gangadhar Pant. According to Siddi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj decided to meet him. As per the plan, Shivaji Maharaj instructed that two palanquins should be prepared for the visit, and he appointed Shiva Kashid to impersonate him and meet Siddi. Shiva Kashid agreed to sacrifice his life to help rescue Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The king allowed Shiva Kashid to wear his clothes, and Shiva Kashid looked just like the king.

Even with the onset of monsoon, Siddi Johar's siege of Panhala did not loosen. As soon as he heard that Netaji Palkar, Siddi Hilal and Wahwah Hilal were coming to Panhala, Siddi sent his force. Wahwah was wounded, Siddi Hilal was captured and Netaji was defeated. Mahadev reached the fort dressed as a sanyasa and informed him about where the siege was loose and planning began.
