Ashti is a city in Beed subdivision of Beed district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.[1] Ashti (constituency number 231) is one of the six Vidhan Sabha constituencies located in Beed district. It covers the entire Ashti and Patoda tehsils and part of the Shirur tehsil of this district.
History
The town of Ashti came to prominence around the 16th century when it was awarded to the Dhonde dynasty as a "jagir". The Dhondes were one of the fiercest warriors and equally well educated and known for their benevolent rule. Under the Dhonde dynasty, the barren and rocky land of Ashti was converted to a more fertile place and a trade center that it is today.
