| Ancient Pachora The history of pachora province in medieval khandesh is very much neglected and not given importance. Very few articles are written upon the subject mentioned above, I am trying to put focus on the subject with the help of information collected by available to us. It is situated on river bank of 'Hivara'. Because of two branches of the river 'Hivara' it becomes an Island. It's East, North, West sides are surrounded by 'Hivara'. According to local folk tales, written in the sect of 'Katha-Kalptaru' When pandawa's were it unknown state, and came (to pachora) here after the death of 'Bakasura' by Bhima, and before going to panchavati they lived here, for 3-4 days. 'Draupadi' was the great devotee of Lord Shankara. She had a faith in Shankara. So for her the king 'Dharmaraji was build a temple of Lord Shankara himself and because of that this town was called, as 'Panchalpur' for a long time and then "Panchaleshwar" & gradually it is known as 'Pachore' - 'Pachora'. Behind the 'Panchaleshwar mandir' the Lord Shri krishna had also came to blessings Pandava (without crossing the boundry called Shiv):- lived there and so this part of the town now a days called as 'krishnapuri' |
