POTI
Poti is a small village of 529 inhabitants in Hinganghat tahsil, lying 19 miles south of Wardha and situated on the Wardha river. Since it faces danger from the river floods a new site or gaothan has been selected for resettling it on a higher level. On the opposite side of the river is a temple of Eknath Maharaj where in the olden days a large fair attended by over 15,000 persons was held in Phalgun (March). It used to continue for 15 days and nearly 1000 temporary shops were erected. But now due to the fair held at Kapsi, a village about three miles from Poti, in the same month, the fair here has been discontinued. The village has a primary school and a multi-purpose co-operative society.
