  • Mahur és un poble de l'Índia a l'estat de Maharashtra, regió de , districte de Nanded, i abans a la subah de Berar, al principat d'Hyderabad. És a la riba sud del Penganga, afluent del Godavari a 40 km al nord-oest de a la part oriental de les muntanyes Sahyadri. Antigament es deia Matapur i modernament apareix de vegades com Mahor. Abans de l'islam tenia un santuari de Sri Dattatreya. Pertanyé als satavahanes i als rashtrakutes. El famós temple de Renuka, a un turó proper, fou obra dels yadaves. Va pertànyer per un temps als gonds. A la meitat del segle xiv va passar als bahmànides. El 1453 Mahmud Shah I Khalji de Malwa la va assetjar però no la va poder conquerir. Altre cop fou disputada entre bahmànides i Malwa el 1468. Fou erigida en província bahmànida el 1478; al segle xvi fou teatre de les lluites entre adilxàhides de Bijapur, nizamshàhides d'Ahmednagar i imadshàhides de Berar. Potser a causa de les lluites va perdre importància; va passar als mogols el 1636 amb el sultanat d'Ahmednagar i fou un sarkar de la subah de Berar, però progressivament va esdevenir insignificant. Des de 1724 va pertànyer al nizam d'Hyderabad, independitzat al Dècan, i al segle XIX formà part del subdistricte de Sirpur Tandur fins que el 1905 va quedar integrada al districte d'Adilabad, divisió de Warangal. Hyderabad fou independent del 1947 al 1948 quan l'Índia va ocupar l'estat. El 1956 l'estat d'Hyderabad va ser dissolt i la part occidental va passar a Maharashtra. (ca)

Dattatreya parents Atri Rishi and Sati Anasuya Mata lived here. Brahmadev, Vishnudev and Lord Shiva once got a news about Anusaya Mata that there is no one more pious and pure as her. To test her piousness they arrived under the garb of asking Alm (bhiksha).Near Mahur, There is a Pious confluence of River Penganga and River Pus at Hiwara Sangam village, Tal. Mahagaon Vidarbha, from where the river flows northward. Penganga river forms a border between Vidarbha and Marathwada. Mahur falls just about 3kms inside Marathwada due to river banks. There are three mountains in Mahur. The first one is having Renuka Mahar devi mata Temple, who is mother of the god Parshuram. Other two are called Datta Shikhar and Atri Anasuya Shikar Temples. Datta Shikhar is highest of all. Mahur has a sacred temple to Renuka Mata, which is considered one of the three and half Shakti Peethas (temples) in the state. A big fair is held here every year on the occasion of Vijayadashami. Sahasrarjun attacked Renuka Mahar Devi while somewhere in today's Telangana, for he wanted to grab the sacred Kamdhenu cow — this cow has the divine power to fulfill wishes. When Renuka Mahar Devi refused to him that saying asking gift of your own choice by the guest visitor is uncalled. He attacked her & injured her. She dies in this & when Lord Parshuram knew about it, he went berserk. Then the elderly people pacified him & asked him to do the last rites in Mahur under Dattatreya's guidance. Then he was told by him that Mahar devi Renuka Mata will appear on first mountain for you to worship. This became the famous Mahar Devi Renuka Mata temple. The "Matru Tirth" (means sacred place for Mother's worship) Place on this Mountain is the one which is where today stands a lake, is "Antyeshti Sthan" (Means place where last rites were performed). There are many other temples in Mahur like Rishi Jamdagni Mahar Temple, Lord Parshuram Mahar Temple, Kalika Mata Temple, Devdevshwar Temple, and also the Caves called Pandav Leni.There is Fort in Mahur. This was built by Gond kingdom of Chandrapur. This fort is quite large, but very few visitors travel inside. (en)
