KHAIRI ZAMINDARI
Khairi Zamindari, " This small estate is situated in the north of the Sakoli tahsil, a few miles north of Sakoli. It consists of 4 villages and has an area of 14 square miles, of which three quarters are forest. The estate is said to have been granted to the ancestor of the present Mana family as a reward for the destruction of wild beasts. It may originally have been a part of Turmapuri, the zamindars of which are also Manas. In a grant dated 1775 it was confirmed to the holders by the Nagpur Raja on an annual payment of Rs. 38 [Reproduced from Bhandara District Gazetteer, 1908 ed., p. 210]."
