JODMOHA.
Jodmoha is a market place of some importance in Yavatmal tahsil, situated along Yavatmal-Wani road 24.14 km (about 15 miles) distant from Yavatmal. Its population was 1,370 in 1961. It is chiefly known for the samadhi of one Khateshvar Baba, a deeply revered local saint. About a mile from the main settlement, the samadhi is situated atop a hill amidst pleasing surroundings with a water tank nearby. A temple has recently been erected over it, the sabhamandap having been built by one Vitthalrao Jamadar of Murtizapur in Akola district. On Kartika 15 a fair is held in honour of the saint. Jodmoha has a post office, a primary school and a rest house. On every Friday a weekly market, attended by villagers coming from many of the surrounding villages, is held. Water-supply is obtained from wells.
