place was ruled by Mane(माने), a Maratha Kshatriya 96 Kuli clan. The Manes were Noblemen & were considered as pillars of Maratha Empire.
The name ''Mane'' is derived from the Marathi word ''man'' ("neck"); in Maratha culture the neck symbolises one's proud nature. This clan claims descent from the Rajput clan of the Gaur kings having roots from Gujarat.
One legendary story of the Mane in Maharashtra takes place while the Mane were serving under a regional king of Gujarat. They were influential knights of that king's court but they often saluted the king while standing, not bowing unlike other knights. This fact was pointed out to the king by other knights, and the king thus resolved to set a trap for the Mane. He had swords placed at neck-level along the approach to his throne, but the proud Mane still refused to bow, but the Mane knights, though they noticed the swords, refused to bow and walked into the swords, slicing their own throats. When the last of the Mane knights attempted to follow his cohort in this suicidal act, the king stopped him and bestowed upon him the name "Mane".
