NANDAVI
Nandavi (Manganv T., RS. Mumbra, 92; p. 1,456) is said to have been once the capital of a Koli King by name Nanda. Near the Muslim Kabarasthan remains of the old palatial buildings and other antiquities are found. It is well-known as the village of the Savants and later was partly in the possession of the Pesvas and the Sidis of Janjira. Remnants of the ' Vada ' of the Konkanes are seen even today. Among the places of worship the shrine of Bapuji Buva is prominent; there is also an old temple dedicated to Nagaresvar. The village has twelve lakes for water-supply and it is said that it formerly consisted of twelve ' puras ' or small parts, each in turn possessing one tank for water-supply. Near the tanks very big ' Virgals ' are noticed. Close by is the village called Purar or Purassar.
