Pauni, in the Bhandara area, is 82 kilometers south-east of Nagpur. The present town, around three kilometers south-west of the Wainganga River, is engirdled by medieval forts decorated by forcing passages, of which those arranged to the west are very nearly in place. The proud forts, which at a few spots are surviving to a stature of around 20 meters, were surrounded by a canal.

The old channel has now transformed into a little regular lake and is called Balasamudra. The fort was built by the Gond ruler Bakht Buland in the early eighteenth century and was assumed control by Raghuji Bhosale I around 1710 AD.

The primary entryway, still in great condition, is on the north-west side. In the post, there is a sanctuary underneath the ground level and the icon is set on a ledge of a well-like structure.

Not far from the present, there is a spot where huge measured blocks of old periods are regularly found. This is said to be the site of the capital-cum fortress of the Vakatakas.
