NERUR

Nerur (Kudal Peta, p. 7142), is on the Karli river, three and a half miles west of Kudal. Near the village, are two ponds, the larger of which was, in 1877, examined with a view to enlarging it by replacing the earth embankment by a strong masonry dam. The idea had to be given up as the soil proved too weak to bear the weight of the masonry. At present (1960), one of the ponds is used by the people for drinking purposes and the other is kept aside for animals. There is a big temple of God Kaleshvar. Every year a fair is held on Mahashivratri day when about 2,500 people attend. There is a village panchayat. Bazar is held on every Sunday.
