History
edit'Sarkarwada' is a historical monument in the form of a small ground fortress or Gadhi. It was a walled village called Gaon KusIn under the reign of Peshwas of Pune.
To the south is a big hillock named 'Dashabai'. According to the British gazette, this hilltop has the ruined tomb of the 'Chand Sultana' of Ahmednagar Nizamshahi. Vitthal Temple and mosque are adjacent which shows a rare tie between two communities. Other famous sites are:
- Wadgaon Darya famous for its stalactite & stalagmite columns in Goddess Daryabai's temple.
- Khandoba Mandir of Pimpalgaon Rotha built in the 15th century.
- A huge bull (Nandi) carved out of stone in Mahadev temple.
- Malganga mandir
Geography
editIt is a drought prone, semi arid region receiving precipitation of around 20 inches per year. Frequent droughts often cause local dwellers to move away to other cities or other places.
The agricultural area of Kanhur is situated nearly on the ridge line of Krishna (Bhima) and Godavari basin. Local farmers typically raise cows for milk and grow green peas as a primary means for trade.
