Mangrulpir

Mangrulpir is a city and a municipal council in Washim district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Mangrulpir has long been the head of a pargana, and was possibly at one time a Muhammedan settlement of some importance, but it has been rather insignificant for many years. The municipality at Mangrulpir is the youngest in the district having been established as late as 1959. The antiquity of the region round Mangrulpir goes back to two thousand years.

The only features of interest are the dargah, and tombs of Shah Badr-ud-din and other Muhammedan saints and pits. The town is called Mangrulpir on account of these associations. The old Akola District Gazetteer published in 1910 states, 'The actual tomb is on the top of a small hill, on which are also other buildings connected with it, while below are two large courtyards containing rooms for the accommodation of pilgrims; the whole is surrounded by a massive stone wall with nine bastions
