The Raul (Rawal) of Shindkheda (Sindkheda)
The settlement of Shindkheda may have been in the 12th century, before that, this area belonged to Dandaka Aranya. Shindkheda is settled on the bank of the Burai River. There is a story on the name of Burai River. One day a Santa (Pujari) bathed on the little stream, suddenly a flow of water increased, and Pujari's clothes were swept away. Pujari was shocked and surprised to see some new cloths flowing towards him. He thanked the river and said from today you are named Ma Burai, who will wash everyone's bure karm. At the same time he preached anyone "who tries to dirty you will dry yourself or who dirties your water will have a worsened life". After the 12th century, Muslim sardars and Khans ruled this area, causing it to be named Khandesh. It is also held that this is kanha (Krishna) ka desh so it is Kanha Desh (Kanhdesh). Both Hindus and Muslims live here peacefully in Shindkheda. Land divided into the 12.5 provinces, in local languages they are known as Raul (Rawal). Raje Shrimant Pratapsinh Rawal after that Raje Shrimant Lakhesinh Rawal ruled the Jahagiri up to British rule. In the Era of Pratapsinh Rawal, Lord Datta Mandir of Sindkheda was constructed on the bank of river Maa Burai. At the same era, Lord Balaji Mandir might be constructed. Balaji Sansthan started Ratha Palkhi Utsava where every year at Ashvin Paurnima i.e. on Kojagiri Paurnima People of the town and surrounding area gather and pull the Ratha around the main street of Sindkheda. It is one of the huge and famous Rath Plakhi Utsav around the area. During the Indian freedom movement of 1947, Shindkheda contributed freedom fighters like Ramchandra Nathu Buwa-Dukale alias Rama Buwa, Narayan Buwa alias Nana Buwa (Balaji Sansthan, Shinkheda), Vyankatrao Patil. Pratapsinh Rawal was strongly beloved in Hinduism and mythology, so he called to Kavyatirth Hon. Late. Ha.pa.bha. Sitaram Gangadhar Pandit called nickname Shewadkar bapu bapu was a bachelor of Sanskrit language and got a degree from Kashi (Banaras) Hindu Vidyapeeth. He was very popular in Sindkheda taluka. Bapuji read 60 times Bhagwat katha in Datta Mandir. He was master in Vedic Astrology, Mythology and Karmakand he was living at Datta Mandir. This is a great holy place. The whole wooden Rath was built on teak wood and it has five wheels. The fifth wheel is in the middle of the other five it is used on very difficult turning on streets. Ratha is passing through different lanes where Muslim people are also pulling the Ratha from their area. Near the mosque, the Hindus are stop beating their drums and musical instruments. So loving both the communities’ whole world should learn lesson from this small town. Might be more than the last 150 years this Ratha Palkhi Utsav gets celebrated in the area, very next day Shree Balaji Seats on Palkhi in the evening and bless the people of the town.
