Pathri

Pathri lies in the Godavari country of the central Deccan, west of Parbhani. The town’s older history is connected with the Yadava rulers of Devagiri and the later powers that divided their lands. During a Mughal campaign against the Nizam Shahis in the early seventeenth century, forces retreating from Jalna passed through Pathri before seeking refuge at Dharur. In the eighteenth century the Nizam granted the Pathri district to Sultanji along with lands at Bid and Dharur.
