Mahagaon

Mahagaon lies in the Pus valley of southeastern Berar, near Pusad and the wooded country toward the Painganga. Pusad stands on a bend of the Pus River and was recorded as a pargana town in Abu’l Fazl’s Ain-i Akbari. It formed part of the Mahur district in the Mughal administrative order. An old temple of Mahadeva at Pusad preserves another link with the region’s earlier religious life.
