Bandhugara

Bandhugara is a small Marathi-speaking Hindu chiefdom of upper Vidarbha, holding the wooded country around Nagpur, Katol and Dongartal that twelfth-century inscriptions call Jhadimandala, then under the Yadavas of Devagiri. After the Yadava kingdom fell to the Delhi sultans the region broke into local chiefdoms, and in the sixteenth century it was absorbed into the rising Gond kingdom of Deogarh.
