VARANGAON.
Varangaon (Bhusaval Taluka; 21°00' N. 75°55' E; R. S., p. 8,152). was formerly the headquarters of the Mamlatdar and the Sub-Judge and a town of considerable importance. It was also a municipal town. Its importance has declined since the establishment of Bhusaval and the removal to it of the Mamlatdar's office. The trade of Varangaon is purely local and confined to cotton, oilseeds and grain. The most remarkable religious building is a temple to Ram, known as the Ram Mandir situated to the south of the town on the opposite bank of the stream, and said to have been built by Lakshman Kasli, one of the Peshva's Mamlatdais. The railway station of Varangaon is eight miles from Bhusaval on the Bhusaval-Nagpur line. Varangaon was handed over to the British by Shinde in 1861.
