HistoryEdit

There are many evidences suggesting the existence of civilization here on the banks of River Godavari since the times of Mahabharat. It is said that Sage Agasti set up his ashram on the banks of this river after crossing the Vindhya Mountain, after which many other sages followed suit. Many settlements in the district corroborate this viewpoint and can be traced to these times – Mudgal village where Sage Mudgal performed penance, Valur (today known as Selu) where Sage Valmiki lived and the town of Pathri (earlier Parthapur) established by Arjun alias Partha, one of the five Pandava brothers.Jainpur (today’s Jintur) village was also a part of the kingdom of King Ashoka.The city of Parbhani which is the district headquarters got its name from the ancient temple of Goddess Prabhavati.
