BORGAON
Borganv, (pop. 6,485) in Valva taluka is a large and well-to-do
agricultural village lying 8.84 km (five and a half miles) northeast of lslampui and 8 km. (five miles) north-west of Valva. At one time it was held by Khando Ballal Citrus. It is situated on the right bank of the river Krsna, at a sudden bend which it rakes northwards, and hence the land in the neighbourhood is some of the finest black soil of the Krsna valley. Borganv has four hamlets viz., Pharnevadi, Banevadi. Gaundavadi and Sathpevadi. The village has primary schools, a branch post office, a civil dispensary, a maternity home and a balvadi. Adjoining the Krsna on the north there is a temple of Maruti. It is an interesting building in a courtyard about 9.29 m2 (100 ft. square) with round arched cloisters of brick covered with mortar. However, the western part of the court is past repairs.
