Kanashi (Bhadgaon) – Village with 100% vegetarian diet since 700 years:
Jalgaon district’s Kanashi village located in Bhadgaon Taluka is one of classical example of being 100% vegetarian in diet. The village located at 8kms from Bhadgaon has special historic mention and is centred on a small temple. Literatures quote reference of holy blissful presence cum visit of Chakradhar Swami early in 12th Century beginning on the banks of Girana River. Late a Brahmin took him to his house (current temple) for stay in this village. Seeing the devotional attire of this Brahmin, Chakradhar Swami showered him with his divine spiritual power of non-violence and spread love. This influence can also be seen now with a large temple of Chakradhar Swami located on entry in the village.
Villagers have no goats, hen and likely birds and even sellers do not sell eggs. The villagers and Panchayat has now demanded pilgrimage centre status for this uniqueness and expects district administration attentiveness to preserve the wondrous spirituality.
