'''Kandhar''' is a town and a [[municipal council]] in [[Nanded district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]]. It lies near the western shore of [[Manyad Dam|Manyad Reservoir]]. Kandhar was famous as a major Jain centre in the [[Rashtrakuta dynasty|Rashtrakuta kingdom]], having Malkhed or Manyakheta as his capital. A huge statue of Kshetrapala (deity related to Jains) is found near the bhuikot; the statue is broken but from the toenail that survives, its height is estimated to be more than 50 feet. Presently, there is an old Digambar Jain Temple in Kandhar which is awaiting for its renovation. Kandhar is also famous for [[Kandhar Fort]]. | '''Kandhar''' is a town and a [[municipal council]] in [[Nanded district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]].
