Undirkhede (Parola Taluka; 20°30' N, 75°05' E; R. S. Amalner, m. 15; p. 1,942). three miles south-west of Parola and 15 miles south of Amalner railway station (Surat-Bhusaval line), has, in an island on the Bori river, a temple of Shri Nageshvar Mahadev, said to have been built by Trimbakrav Mama Pethe, to whom the Peshva granted the village about 205 years ago. Surrounded by a wall seventy-five feet on each side, with flights of steps leading to the river and ornamented by a lamp-pillar, the temple, forty feet by twenty-five consists of an outer hall, a porch with a sacred bull, and a shrine. The hall of brick and lime has a small spire, and the shrine, of cut stone highly ornamented on the outside, rises in a many-cornered forty feet high spire. Now it is not in a good condition.
