INTRODUCTION
WARDHA DISTRICT HAS NOT A RICH HERITAGE OF ART, ARCHITECTURE OR ARCHAEOLOGY like some other districts in the State. However the rulers in ancient, mediaeval, Maratha and modern times as well as patrons of art and architecture constructed beautiful temples, mosques and other objects of interest. Many of the objects of interest were either destroyed by the ravages of battles or by the desecration by evil hands or by the damages inflicted by Nature. Even the dilapidated objects are however reminiscent of those good old days, and are important from historical as well as architectural point of view. In this chapter is furnished a description of important places of interest in the district. In giving this description, the material furnished in the former edition of the Wardha Gazetteer is liberally used. Besides, the historical and architectural aspects, other relevant information about the concerned places is also furnished.
