WARUD BAGAJI
Warud Bagaji is a small village of 489 people situated on the banks of the river Wardha in Candur tahsil, about 4.483 km. (three miles) distant from Mangrul Dastagir. The second name Bagaji has been derived from the samadhi of a Hindu ascetic named Bagaji Baba, in whose honour a fair is held annually on Phalgun Vadya 6 (March). In olden days the fair used to- last for more than a month and carts, cart wheels, cloth, copper and brass vessels were sold. But now the fair has dwindled in importance and has become a single day's affair attended by about a thousand persons. The village has a primary school.
