Paldhi, m. 5; p. 3,917), 14 miles north-east of Nashirabad and 5 miles from Paldhi railway station (Surat-Bhusaval line) has a quaint temple of carved block stone on the bank of Girna below the village, and close beside it is a Gosavi's house. In the centre of this house a flight of steps leads to a door, inside the door are a few more steps, and then a big hole, inside of which are a series of four cells one within the other. There is nothing remarkable about these cells except that they are dug out of soft earth. The dimensions of these four cells are, five feet by ten, seven feet by four, four feet by three and a half and three and a half feet by three, respectively. The village has a high school.
