History & geography

History

Small-scale archaeological excavation by Mate and Dhavalikar in 1968 found no evidence of occupation at the site before the 1200s, during the Yadava period.{{refn|group=note|These excavations were done at a vacant lot just north of the Vithoba temple, in the middle of town and at one of the highest points in town, which "might represent the highest accumulation of debris".{{refn|group=note|The Padma Purāṇa does include a reference to "the god Viṭṭhala on the river Bhīmarathī", but according to Gokhale, this may be a later interpolation and thus "cannot be taken as authentic evidence" for establishing an earlier date for Viṭṭhala. In the second half of the 18th century under the Marathas the temple and city was rebuilt under the Peshwas of Pune, Scindia of Gwalior and Holkar of Indore.
