History

A copper-plate grant of the Rashtrakuta Emperor Govinda III found near Bhadgaon (Pachora Taluka) has been dated to Saka 732 (809 A.D.). It records the donation of a village called Bhaulavara in the Bahula vishaya, corresponding to the modern Pachora district. Jalgaon seems to have come under the sway of the Imperial Rashtrakuta dynasty, with their capital at Manyakheta (modern Malkhed in North Karnataka in Karnataka State). The powerful rulers of this family extended their kingdom into the Deccan, Konkan, part of Gujarat and Central India up to the Vindhyas and remained in power until they were overthrown by Chalukya Tailapa in about 970 A.D. The ancient name of the city was Battagram or possibly Bhattagram meaning Bhatt symbolizing warrior or Bhat meaning brilliant Brahmins (the highest caste in Hinduism). The temple of Sidhivinayak was built under Peshawa rule. Near it are the Mahadev, Shani, Maruti temples, and Swami Samarha Kendra temples alongside the Girana river. The temple of Shiva (situated at Mahadeo Galli) was set up by Rishi Bhrugu near Girna River. (the position of the Girna river has changed over the last 70 years).
