History
Formerly Bhamodra was known for its iron-works and the steel produced was famous in the neighbourhood for sword blades, which were styled as being of the Bhamodra ore.
Ancient coins are often found at Bhamodra ; amongst these was one of Apollodotus I, besides others of the Western Satraps, Gupta, and Maitraka kings. To the south of the village is a large tank, of which, the northern bank alone has been built with masonry ; it appears of some antiquity.
