Naro Mahadev was a Brahmin officer in Maratha service who at the end of the 17th century received Ichalkaranji, in present-day Maharashtra, as a grant. His descendants took the name Ghorpade and held Ichalkaranji as a feudatory of Kolhapur State until Indian independence. The town has since become a major centre of the textile industry.
