Historic Temple.

              A family was settled around the fifteenth century along with other families of their group. They might fight with local residents at that time for capturing their like place which was very suitable for them. The place was at fusion of two rivers namely Wardha and Bembhala.  The main river continues its journey thereafter to meet with another big river Painganga in the south of Maharashtra state. The family ruled over that area for so many generations. They had a plenty of land in that area. Their land was spread in different villages in depth and breadth. But their main village was the same where they had very big house called Wada locally at that place. There was very ancient Hemadpantitemple of lord Shiwa of twelfth century at the meeting point of two rivers at a very good height. It never get drowned when both rivers get over flooded. Hemadpantitemple is constructed with Blackstone and lime without using any mortar, in Maharashtra and other parts of land since twelfth century. Most of families were very rich due to very good land as they get good return of their crops. Because of the richness of village ,it was named as Nandesawangee as most of families were very rich and they were enjoying by celebrating various festival on large scale. Many farmers from nearby families used to barrow money from the main family for their need. Along with their traditional business of agriculture ,they were dong the business of money lender.

              There was tradition of celebrating Lord Shiva’s birthday every year. The most of rich families used to celebrate lord Shiva’s birthday as per their allotted days before main day as consensus made among them democratically.They used to give lunch to the people of the neighboring villages on the day of celebration of birthday of lord shiva. This practice has been continuing till today. But most of the families migrated from that place to big towns and cities due to the worst financial conditions in their life span which was the need of hour.

                Unfortunately, there were three brothers in the family around beginning of nineteen century. One of the family members had no son. He had very bad habits. So he lost most of the land. Since he had no child ,at time of his last days. He expressed his will that his left fifty acre land should be donated to temple for its maintenance and celebrating lord Shiva’s birthday every year. Another brother who was very clever in managing all affairs get died due to pandemic in the beginning of nineteenth century leaving his two sons, daughter and widow. only one master was left in the family to look over all affairs of the family. But he was not as cleaver and active as his younger brother. He could not manage the business and family. He lent huge amount of money from other money lenders by mod gaging his land. He couldn’t come out of the borrowings in his life span. When the sons of his younger brother were grown ,there was distribution of properties. His nephews were unaware of the borrowings. When they started their life, the money lenders asked them interest and principle of barrowings. The family lost their all property in return of old loans as per terms and conditions laid down in agreement. They had very few land.Elder brother was managing the whole family in miserable condition. They were born with silver spoon in their mouth, but they had to face beggars’ condition. One of their uncles was expired who had no child. They got around fifty acre land as they were legitimate claimant. They had some what good days than past because of that new development as every cloud has silver lining. His younger brother was taking education. He passed the tenth board examination. But he was influenced by freedom fighter movement in the country. So decided not to accept any government job of the English rule which was easily available to him. Both the brothers got married and they had their families. Educated younger brother could not fulfill his family’s needs due to poor income from land and continuously facing natural calamities. He decided to leave his village for better welfare of his family. He would put on khadi’s clothes. when he tried for government job. Looking his appearance with khadi clothes ,officer did not offer him job at peak moment of independent movement. Then he made attempt in private bank where he was posted as a principal casher. He settled in the town which was nearest from his parental village. It was then their new workplace where his family was quite happy as their financial condition get improved due to flow of money from job as well as farm. He had four son and two daughters. He paid more attention on their education. His sons as well as daughters did their graduation and obtained jobs in undertaking as well as government. His elder brother was the care taker of his land. He also jumped bandwagon his younger brother shifting his family to another town for their education.

Both brothers continued their tradition of celebrating Lord Shiva’s birthday on the scheduled day as per provision every year. They used to invite all people of neighboring villages for Mahaprasad.Most of the families either stopped or restricted themselves the tradition of celebration of lord shiva’s birthday on their allotted day. some of them discontinued the practice. But the family still celebrating the day with gaiety and enthusiasm every year with active participation from the same blood. The land of their ancestor which was donated for the temple was missed used by relative’s care taker. Care taker handed over some of land to government as his share in the land ceiling for saving his own land. When this was noticed ,the family members formed the trust for remaining land. Income from the land is to be used for celebration the Lord Shiva’s birthday and maintenance of temple. There is a fair on the day of lord Shiva’s anniversary every year. But ,the defaulter family paid the value of its act by losing life a family member at regular interval in fortnight of lord Shiva’s anniversary due to cancer. Most of family members lost their life due to cancer. On the other hand ,most of offspring from same family get highly educated and were doing jobs with handsome salaries holding respectable post in many companies in India and abroad.
