''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''
=Brahmapuri=
Village in the Pandharpur taluka of Sholapur District, 
Bombay, situated in 17° 34' N. and 75° 34' E., on the Bhima, about 
16 miles south-east of Pandharpur town. Population (1901), 1,274. 
Brahmapuri has an old temple of Siddheswar enclosed in a paved 
court. In 1695 Aurangzeb, annoyed at the continued Maratha raids 
in the North Deccan, encamped with his grand army at Brahmapuri, 
where he established his chief store, built a cantonment, and held 
his court. From Brahmapuri the operations of his armies and 
the affairs of his empire were directed for five years. In 1700 
the Brahmapuri cantonment was vacated, and Aurangzeb marched 
to Satara.
