Jamod is a small town in Jalgaon Jamod taluka in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra.[1][2]
The name "Jamod" comes from Jaha moze, which means place of enjoyment. Its old name was Virat Nagari[citation needed]. Jamod is situated on the base of the Satpuda hills,[2] which means seven hills together. Jamod has good fertile land for growing bananas, vegetables, and oranges, and all nearby villages are situated on hills. The Avji Sidha Maharaj temple is one of the few famous places around Jamod.
Generally the Bari caste is located here, which are the farmers of eating leaves (Nagveli). Every year these people arrange bhandara (common food party) at Bambleshwari (Mahadeo) temple.
