POMBHURNA.
Pombhurna is a rice producing village in Candrapur tahsil with two excellent tanks, situated about 41.84 km. (26 miles) to the east of Canda. The population in 1961 was 2,965. The Pancals here used to work in wood lacquered in different colours and make toys, fan handles, chess and draughts of excellent workmanship. Due to lack of encouragement this art is falling into decay and the Pancals are taking to agriculture. Sugar cane is the next important crop of the village. On Tuesdays a small weekly bazar is held. Pombhurna has a high school, a post office, a medical practitioner and a rest house.
