The '''''Jedhe Shakawali'''''. or ''Jedhe Chronology'', is a bare record of events from 1618 to 1697, kept by the [[Jedhe]] Deshmukhs of Kari village, near Bhor in the [[Pune]] district. It is a valuable source for the political history of the formative period of [[Maratha Empire]]. It was first edited by [[B.G. Tilak]] and published by [[Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal]], Pune, in 1916.

==Background==
The Jedhes, the Khopades, the Bandals and the Naik-Nimbalkars were the prominent Deshmukhs of [[Maval]]. Out of these, Jedhes of Kaari, in modern-day Bhor, were the Deshmukhs of 'Rohid Khora', which includes the forts of Raireshwar and Rohideshwar, in the Maval region of the modern Pune district, which is near Bhor about 48 km towards south of Pune. Being the leaders of their region, they were privileged persons and enjoyed a high status in political, social and economic life of the region. Kanhoji Jedhe is regarded as the real founder of the Jedhe family as he and his son Baji, popularly known as Sarjerao Jedhe, brought their family to prominence by rendering valuable services to [[Shivaji]], the founder of [[Maratha Empire]] in the 17th century.

==Contents==
The ''Jedhe Shakawali'' consists of yearly data from 1618 (birth of [[Aurangzeb]]) to 1697 (the besiege of the [[Gingee]] fort). The years are reckoned by the [[Shaka era]] (approximately 78 years behind ''[[anno domini]]''), alongside a short description.
