Source-derived summary

Chamorshi is a town and a tehsil in Gadchiroli district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

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).

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Chamorshi” as human settlement in India. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Chamorshi, human and settlement.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 95-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Chamorshi, human and settlement providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Chamorshi”, the useful work is to connect “human settlement in India” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5069844. Authority coordinates are 19.937, 79.889. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
