TALEGAON
Talegaon, with a population of 1,841 in 1961, is a village in Wardha tahsil, lying ten miles south-east of Wardha and about two miles from Sonegaon railway station on the Wardha-Ballarshah route. The village contains two temples, one each dedicated to Mahadeva and Dattatraya. While the Mahadeva shrine is quite old and is ruinous, the Datta temple is in good repair. Remains of old masonry work were found under the sites of some of the houses in the village. Talegaon has a middle school, an Ayurvedic dispensary, a post office and a rest house. There is a New Multipurpose Education Society imparting training in various cottage industries. A taluka seed multiplication farm has been set up here. A tank has also been tapped for irrigating agricultural land. A weekly market is held on Fridays.
