Satara, Administrative center in Satara district, India
Located at the confluence of Krishna and Venna rivers, Satara spans across the western Deccan plateau at an elevation of 742 meters.
The city became the capital of Maratha Empire in 1708 when Chattrapati Shahu established his reign at the Satara fort after returning from Mughal captivity.
The name Satara derives from the seven mountain fortresses surrounding the city, which remain central to local heritage and regional identity.
National Highway 48 connects Satara to major Maharashtra cities including Pune, Sangli, Kolhapur, and Solapur, facilitating regular transportation across the region.
The city entered the Guinness World Records in 2015 when over 2,600 participants gathered for the largest mountain run event.
