History
'Sarkarwada' is a historical monument in the form of a small ground fortress or Gadhi. It was a walled village called Gaon KusIn under the reign of Peshwas of Pune.
To the south is a big hillock named 'Dashabai'. According to the British gazette, this hilltop has the ruined tomb of the 'Chand Sultana' of Ahmednagar Nizamshahi. Vitthal Temple and mosque are adjacent which shows a rare tie between two communities. Other famous sites are:
- Wadgaon Darya famous for its stalactite & stalagmite columns in Goddess Daryabai's temple.
- Khandoba Mandir of Pimpalgaon Rotha built in the 15th century.
- A huge bull (Nandi) carved out of stone in Mahadev temple.
- Malganga mandir
People
The majority of the population in Kanhur Pathar is Hindu or Muslims. People of all communities live here. A majority of them are Maratha and Mali. Many people have the surnames Thube or Navale. Other popular surnames are Londhe, Vyavahare and Ghodake. Navale wadi, Thube Mala, Aadarsh Nagar and Londhe Mala are hamlets of Kanhur.
The majority of people are literate. The old trend of earning bread by doing unskilled labour work in Mumbai is slowly diminishing. Education is the main motive of young for survival.
It is a drought prone, semi arid region receiving scant rainfall of around 20in per year. Frequent droughts make the life of local dwellers and farmers unbearable. So people migrate to cities or other places.
The agricultural area of Kanhur is situated nearly on ridge line of Krishna (Bhima) and Godavari basin. Local farmers raise cows for milk and produce green peas to survive the unfavourable conditions.
