== Geography == Chamorshi is located near the east bank of the Wainganga River, which joins the Wardha River at Chaprala to form the Pranahita River; the Pranahita then meets the Godavari River. It is known for the ancient temple of god Markandeshwar in Markanda.
The temple is situated on the bank of the Wainganga, which flows generally from north to south but at Markanda turns northward for 20 km before again going south. Markanda is also known as (vidharbhachi kashi).
