Dapodi

Dapodi (earlier: Dapoorie) is a neighbourhood in Pimpri Chinchwad in the northwestern Pune, India.

Dapodi is surrounded by Sangvi and Pimple Gurav to the west, Bopkhel, Kalas to the east, Kasarwadi to the north, and Bopodi and Khadki to the south.

[3] Dapodi was called Darpapudika (Sanskrit: दर्पपूडिका) during the Rashtrakuta rule in the 8th century.

An early reference is found in a copperplate inscription dated 758 CE, describing a land gift by Rashtrakuta king Krishna I to Pugadibhatta, a brahmin.

The inscription mentions the land to be the village of Bopkhelugram (Bopkhel), bordered by Darpapudika (Dapodi) to the west, Bhesuri (Bhosari) to the north, the Muila (Mula) river to the south, and Kalas to the east.
