PADALSA.
Padalsa (Yaval Taluka, 21° 05' N, 75° 45' E; R. S. Dushkhede,
m. 3, p. 3,190), on a high ground overlooking the plain, about six miles south-west of Savada, and three miles west of Duskhede railway station (Bombay-Itarsi line), has a temple of Bhiloha 85 feet by 66 and 15 high. It is said to have been built about 180 years ago by a devotee, Bhagat, named Krshna.
The footsteps of the temple were out of repair. The villagers constructed them afresh and carried out repairs to the walls of the temple. Other repairs were also carried out sometime in 1939-40 at an estimated cost of Rs. 30,000 or so. The southern wall has got a dangerous crack and requires repairs.
There are no factories or industries in the village. A village panchayat was established in 1941. It built a bridge over the Mor liver in 1954 at a cost of Rs. 55,000. The bridge is 327 feet long and 27 feet wide.
