Jedhe Karina

While main objective of the Karina is to state how the family of Jedhes went on prospering day by day, it also throws light on the formative period of Maratha Empire.

The Jedhes, the Khopades, the Bandals and the Naik-Nimbalkars were the prominent Deshmukhs of Maval.

Out of these, Jedhes of Kaari, in present day Bhor, were the Deshmukhs of 'Rohid Khora',which includes the forts of Raireshwar and Rohideshwar in the Maval region of the modern Pune district, which is near Bhor about 48 km towards south of Pune.

Kanhoji Jedhe is regarded as the real founder of the Jedhe family as he and his son Baji, popularly known as Sarjerao Jedhe, brought their family to prominence by rendering valuable services to Shivaji, the founder of Maratha Empire in the 17th century.

When the partition between our ancestors and the Khopade Deshmukhs was made by the judges and the family jurors, the Bhor region came to the share of the Jedhes and the Utroli region was assigned to the Khopades.
