JAMBHORA

Jambhora (Chikhli T., p. 374): A small village lying 18 miles south of Buldhana was formerly granted as an inam to Yelluji, a favourite deity of carpenters. Formerly the patils of the village belonged to that caste and held a sanad engraved on an iron plate bearing the seal of the Emperor Shah Jahan. ' The temple was said to have been built more than 200 years ago. Of about the same date are two large baravs (wells with steps) with a small tank in the centre; behind which flows a small stream called Sita-nhani or the bathing place of Sita, the wife of Rama '. [ Buldhana District Gazetteer, 1910,p. 427.]
