Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in Parbhani

About Parbhani — A Brief History

Parbhani is an old town in the heart of Marathwada, on the road between Aurangabad and Nanded. The settlement is mentioned in early medieval inscriptions as Prabhavatinagar and has been an administrative seat under the Yadavas, the Bahmanis, the Mughals, the Nizam Shahis and the Nizam of Hyderabad. Older parts of the town like the Yeshwantrao Chavan Hospital area, the Jamia Masjid and the Saraswati Bhuvan school still preserve a quiet Hyderabadi feel that contrasts with the modern roads to the MIDC.

The biggest single institution in Parbhani is the Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, the agricultural university that drives crop research across the dry farms of central and eastern Maharashtra. The Hazrat Turabul Haq dargah, the Lord Krishna temple at Pathri (also believed to be the birthplace of the saint Sai Baba of Shirdi), and the Mahanubhav centres at Riddhapur in the same belt round off the cultural map. Pathri's Sai Baba claim has slowly built a steady pilgrim circuit over the past decade.

The local economy runs on cotton, soybean, sugarcane and pulses, with cooperative sugar factories at Sailu, Manwath and Selu. The Manmad–Kacheguda railway and NH-61 keep the town well linked. Shree Mahavir Courier's Parbhani branches handle the daily run of agricultural research papers, university mail, pilgrim consignments and family parcels for the town and the smaller settlements like Selu, Manwath, Pathri, Jintur, Sonpeth and Gangakhed every working day, with steady seasonal spikes tied to Pathri's Saibaba processions, sugar-mill harvest dispatch and the agricultural university's exam season.
