Puna is roughly the same distance (about 28 miles) from Lohgarh in the north-west and Rajgarh in the south. Saswad was admirably situated for attacking Purandar (6 miles south-west of it), Singh-garh and Rajgarh (18 and 24 miles in the west), and Puna (18 miles north-west of it),—while the widening plain east of it enabled cavalry to make an easy and rapid dash into Bijapur territory, or bar the path of reinforcements coming from that side. Even now five main roads meet at Saswad.
