Upon reorganization of states in 1956, the district of Nanded came to comprise six talukas namely Kandhar, Hadgaon, Biloli, Degloor, Mudhol whereas Mukhed and Bhokar were called Mahals (revenue headquarters). As a result of reorganization of states, Bichkunda, Jukkal villages of Degloor taluka as well as the whole of Mudhol taluka (excluding Dharmabad) were merged with Nizamabad District of Andhra Pradesh. In lieu of them, Kinwat and Islapur villages were separated from Adilabad District and made part of Nanded District again. Islapur village was combined with Kinwat taluka and Dharmabad came to be merged with Biloli taluka.

Kedarguda Temple in Hadgaon district is one of the best tourist spot dedicated to Lord Kedarnath, known for Devrai(the forest dedicated to Temple or god). The story famous about Devrai is: The honeybees did not allow the woodcutter to cut the trees in Devrai and attacked the woodcutter till he ran away from the jungle and thus protect the surrounding forest.

Another ancient Temple at Gaitond(mouth of cow) in Hadgaon taluka of Nanded district dedicated to Lord Shiva is a pilgrimage site for nearby villagers. The temple has been renovated recently but it has lost its ancient or medieval period identity and remains has been put outside the temple which proves its ancient period identity. The story that is told by nearby villagers about the temple is mysterious. There was a cow grazier from nearby village named Taroda who used to take his cows for grazing daily. One day he observes a beautiful and heavenly cow within his herd but at the evening this heavenly cow gets disappeared. This mysterious cow used to come for grazing daily and gets disappeared in the evening in nearby jungle. One day the cow grazier decided to follow the cow to know the truth, so he silently follows the cow and he comes to know that there is a tunnel in the jungle so he catches the tail of the cow and enters the tunnel. After some time he reaches the temple of Lord Shiva at exit of tunnel at Gaitond which is one and half kilometer away from tunnel mouth he entered. He comes to village and started telling about his new discovery but the people started to laugh at him and considered him as a Mad. From next day the cow has stopped to come to his herd for grazing. The remains of the entrance and exit of the tunnel has been lost but old aged people claim its existence.
