Overview

 

The small town of Satara has derived its name from “Sat-Tara” (meaning seven stars), that represent the seven hills that surround the city.

Satara is a small city located in the southern part of Maharashtra in the Satara district along the Sahyadris.

The confluence of river Krishna and River Venna nearby gives this town a picturesque background.

The climate in Satara is pleasant due to the surrounding hills. The summers are not too hot and the winters are not too cold. The city receives plenty of rainfall making the town worth visiting in monsoon.

This city was established in the 16th century and was the seat of the king of Satara- Chhatrapati Shahu. Satara was the old capital of the Maratha empire in the 17th century, giving the town a significant number of historical monuments to visit.
