JAMOD
Jamod (Jalgaon T., p. 6,052): It is a village in Jalgaon tahsil situated 6 miles to the north-east of Jalgaon, the tahsil headquarters. It was once a place of considerable importance and famous for its vines. To the north of the village is a temple of Mahadeva with a reservoir to its south. There is a dargah or mausoleum of a Muhammedan saint Pir Pavalad Shah, said to have been built in the time of Ala-ud-din Ghori, and also a masjid. The village is also known as Khel Lon Jamod.
A fort [Varhadcha Itihas, Yadav Madhav Kale, 1924,p. 123.] was constructed at Jamod during the days of the Navabs of Elichpur most probably Ismail Khan. In 1841 [Ibid.], a person named Mugut Rav who claimed descent from the Shindes, raised an army and defeating the Nizam's officers in the fort of Jamod, hoisted the Bhosles' flag on the fort. However, he was subsequently defeated and Nizam's rule was restored.
