Bhosari (IAST: Bhosarī), historically known as Bhojapur, is a neighborhood in the city of Pimpri-Chinchwad, India. It is well known for its cultural and sports activities like Wrestling and Kabaddi.
The area is also recognized as one of the oldest settlements in Pimpri-Chinchwad, with archaeological findings indicating its historical significance. Today, Bhosari has developed into a major industrial hub, housing the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) area that supports numerous small, medium, and large-scale industries.[1]
History
[edit]Bhosari village has a history dating to Gautam Buddha's era.[2] It is said to have been under the rule of Bhoja tribe during the late Vedic Age. It is said that king Bhoja established a capital here and named it Bhojapura (lit. city of Bhoja).[3]
Bhosari was called Bheusari (Sanskrit: भेऊसरी) during the Rashtrakuta rule in the 8th century. A land grant copperplate inscription dated 758 CE describes Krishna I gifting the village of Bopkhelugram (present day Bopkhel) to Pugadibhatta, mentioning Bheusari to the north of the village.[4]
Bhosari Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation is the largest industrial area in this region containing big companies like Tata Motors, Philips, Thermax, and Century Enka.[5][6][7]
The Marutrao Landge International Wrestling Training Center opened in Bhosari in 2023.[8]
Geography and Climate
[edit]Bhosari is situated at a height of 530 meters (1,740 ft) above sea level. Similar to Pimpri-Chinchwad, Bhosari has a tropical wet and dry (Köppen Aw) climate, closely bordering upon a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh).
Bhosari is located about 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Pimpri-Chinchwad city center, and is traversed by National Highway 60 connecting Pune to Dhule via Nashik.
