MANGAON
Manganv (T. Mangahv; p. 251 RS. Mumbra, 80 m.) the headquarters of the Manganv taluka is on the left bank of the Kal river, which is crossed by a masonry bridge of six fifty-feet spans built in 1871. The Mamlatdar's office is a large handsome building on rising ground to the east of the village. Below the bridge the river winds in a long deep pool, and, on the right, opposite the town in the village of Khandhar, was formerly a fine grove. There is a Government vernacular school for boys. Mangahv has a good view of the top of Rayagad hill about fifteen miles to the east.
On the right bank of the Kal river and about a furlong left to the Konkan-Goa road is the Mamlatdar's office. At the instance of the State Government a cottage hospital has been established.
