KANHARGAON ZAMINDARI
Kanhargaon Zamindari, "This diminutive estate consists of one village of 12 persons, all of whom appear to belong to the zamindari family. It is situated near the southern border of the Sakoli tahsil, 26 miles from Sakoli. It is said to have been conferred six generations before 1819 on a Rajput called Bhikrai for killing two tigers. Only about 50 acres are cropped. A takoli of Rs. 90 was assessed at settlement, which has now been reduced to Rs. 70 with Rs. 4 as cesses. The family are Rajputs [Bhandara District Gazetteer, 1908 ed. p. 209.]."
