KURHAD.
Kurhad Kd. (Pachora taluka, 20°40' N; 75°25' E; p. 1,663),
three miles north of Varkhedi railway station (Pachora-Jamner line) and half-way on the road from Pachora to Lohara, has an old Hemadpanti temple of Mahadev, a many-cornered building eighteen feet long by fifteen wide and fourteen high. It contains a ling and at the back an image of Devi. The entrance is through a hall on the north which is mostly in ruins. Between the hall and the shrine is an image of
Ganapati. The temple has neither writing nor legend. About a mile and a half to the east of Kurhad the village of Sangvi has a comparatively modern temple of Mahadev, said to have been built by one Baburav Vis'vanath Patil about 250 years ago.
