KIBMARO
Kibmaro, is a small village lying about three miles south-west of Bhandara on the Wainganga river. An old temple constructed of large blocks of stone and having a low verandah occupies the knoll of a hillock near the village. On the front inner wall an undeciphered inscription formerly existed, but the wall has now been plastered over and it is no longer visible. On the side of the hill south of the village and about a mile and a half distant is a cave temple with a figure of Mahadeva in it. The entrance to the cave is just large enough for a man to creep in, but in the inner chamber one can stand upright. The people of the neighbourhood frequently resort to the place for worship. The name of the village is probably derived from the Kuramvar shepherds who may have founded it.
