LOHARA.
Lohara is a small village on Yavatmal-Darvha road in Yavat- mal tahsil 3.22 km (about three miles) distant from Yavatmal. In the Ain-i-Akbari, the Yavatmal pargana is mentioned as Yot-Lohara pargana. The chief and perhaps the only object of interest is a fine Hemadpanti temple in a fair state of preservation. It has 18 columns of stone, is ten feet high in front and its sanctuary is adorned by a 30 feet high dome-like shikhar. The Lohara tank was recently repaired and harnessed for irrigating agricultural land. Lohara has a Zilla Utpadaka Sahakari Udyog Mandal working on co-operative basis, and a primary school. Drinking water is obtained from wells. The village is sometimes known as Lohara Bodad to distinguish it from another village of the same name in the same tahsil.
