A History of the Mahrattas v2.c45.25

v2.c45.25

² [The proper name of this place is Kharda, and is so spelt in a report from Malet, the Resident at Poona, to the Governor-General, dated March 12, 1795. Kharda, now a town in Jāmkhed tāluka, Ahmadnagar District, situated fifty-six miles south-east of Ahmadnagar, belonged originally to the Nimbālkar family, whose mansion in the middle of the town is now in ruins. The fort to the south-east of the town was built by the Nimbālkars in 1745, and is still in good repair. (I.G. Bom., 1909, i. 412; B.G., xvii. 721 f.)]
