The templeFas constructed at the time of Yadavas of Devgiri, probably in the 13th century and hence has considerable historical importance. The temple of N agnath covers an area of 669.60 m 2 (7200 sq. feet). The height of the temple is about 60 feet. It is a solid work in masonry and on its wall are engraved hundreds of images of human beings and various types of animals like elephants, horses and bulls in splen'did design. These figures look lifelike. The name ofNamdeo, the saint­ poet, is linked with this temple in a legend, which tells that the Lord, for the sake of his devotee, moved the front entrance of the temple in the direction of N amdeo. Samadhis of N amdeo and that of his guru Visoba Kechar are to be seen in the 'gabhara' and outside the temple. People believe that N agnath ~s capable of show­ ering blessings on them, and fulfils the desire for a child for childless couples. On Mahashivratri day a fair lasting for five days is held and is attended by lakhs of people from far and wide.

This is the most valuable district lev,el publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each Stat.e Govt.lUnion Territory administration. It inter alia provides data/inform~tion on some ofthe basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/ facilities in each village and town \ of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrator~, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was _initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural tfspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many StateslUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tahsil/town level were provided in Part B.
