What is "ansing"

Ansing is the village in Washim district of Vidarbh region of Maharashtra. This is specific name which relates ancient history of Sage Shringi Rishi. Ansing is the corrupt name of Ek-Shring (one horn). Vibhandak, the father of Shring Riashi, had a baby boy from deer he copulated in the forest. So shameful was he about his act that he hid the boy from rest of the world. The boy had a Shring (horn) on his head. Therefore he got the name Shring Rishi. Vibhandak used to met him alone & never allowed him to met anyone else. Shringi Rishi was given all education by his father. But never saw human being. One day some girls wandered into forest & this was the first interaction of Shring Rishi to humans. He was unhappy with his father but father explained him the facts. Shring Rishi was the one who did Putrakameshti yadnya for Raja Dashrath, after which Ram, Lakshman, Bharat & Shatrughna were born. There is an ancient temple of Shring Rishi in Ansing.

Ansing is on the midway between Washim & Pusad. The green forest zone starts immediately on the border of Ansing. This place is a big market place for many villages in the vicinity of 30 km.
