[p.59]: Charwa is 44 miles from Hoshangabad. In an old temple (Guptesvara) at Haripura there is a record on a stone which reads as Champavatinagari. The local people are inclined to identify it with Charwa, but the record is not very old. It appears to be a pilgrim record, and Champavati may be the place whence the pilgrim came.

In the Mahalpura there is a step-well with an inscription dated in Samvat 1727 or A.D. 1670. It states that the well was built when the Emperor Aurangzeb was ruling and the local chief was Pratapa Shah.
