Bavdhan consists of two parts - Bavdhan Khurd and Bavdhan Budruk, geographically as well as politically. The part of Bavdhan that lies east of Ramnadi river is called Bavdhan Khurd, and the remaining part lying to the west of Ramnadi river is called Bavdhan Budruk. Bavdhan Budruk is bigger area-wise but it falls under Gram Panchayat since it contains the main original Bavdhan village. Bavdhan Khurd has been incorporated into PMC in late 2000s. It is more developed and has better facilities and standard of living, and also boasts of slightly higher property rates than its Budruk counterpart.
