The place is connected to Sambhaji Maharaj - the son of Shivaji Maharaj. Sambhaji was killed in Tulapur and his samādhi was built in Vadhu. Thus, both these places are historically very important. Tulapur is situated on the banks of 3 rivers- Bhima, Bhama and Indrayani. It is famous for the temple of Lord Shiva. In this temple - known as Sangameshwar, Sambhaji was arrested by Aurangzeb and was later killed.
Tulapur was originally known as Nagargaon.
Vadhu is near Tulapur where Sambhaji Maharaj was cremated. An idol of Sambhaji Maharaj was put up in 1977 in Vadhu.
