Rajmachi (Udhewadi) is a small village in the rugged mountains of Sahyadri in Maharashtra. The Rajmachi fort consists of two forts, Shrivardhan Fort and Manaranjan Fort. Historically, There is a cave in the belly of Rajmachi fort, it is called 'Kondane Caves'. These caves built by Satavahana period during the second century century It is an exquisite example of architecture carved in solid stone. This group of caves includes a chaityavihar and seven viharas. These caves were built under the rule of Rajmachi. From this it is assumed that this fort should be around 2500 years ago.

All larvae are able to produce light to deter predators, but some species lose this ability in adulthood. Each species has its own pattern of light-flashing, which is controlled by the nervous system. Some species, such as the Pennsylvania firefly (Photuris pensylvanica), are still bioluminescent as adults and use their flashes to attract mates of their species. This species also uses light to attract their prey, the big dipper firefly (Photinis pyralis), which they eat to obtain defensive chemicals. Aside from mating and prey attraction, it’s thought that bioluminescence may be a defense mechanism for the insects—the light lets predators know that their potential meal isn’t very tasty and might even be toxic. A firefly typically lives for approximately two months in the wild.
