Atpadi

(Athpadi). — Village in the State of Aundh, Bombay, situated in 1 7° 25' N. and 74 59' E. Population (1901), 5,027. It is famous for its cattle of the Khilar breed, reared by Dhangars. In consequence of its situation on a loop-road connecting the Karad-Pandharpur and Karad-Nagar roads, the town is much visited by pilgrims to Pandharpur. About 12 miles distant is the well-known temple of Nath at Kharsumdi, largely frequented by pilgrims, at which a cattle fair is held twice a year. Country blankets and coarse cloth are manufactured at Atpadi and exported to the Konkan. The village contains a post office, a dispensary, and a school teaching elementary English.
