Earlier The Sailu Taluka was attached with Pathri Constituency. The Maharashtra Govt. has restructured the constituencies and Sailu Taluka is now attached with Jintoor Vidhan Sabha Constituency.
Sailu is referred in many places as Selu. Selu is a city full of prosperity and ancient culture. As per Parbhani district’s history, it goes back to the Stone Age. Researchers think the religions of the valley of the Godawari were very progressive. Walur village is considered to be Saint Valmiki’s (writer of Ramayana) birthplace and also Pandava stayed here. Lingayat tradesman saint Harihar Maharaj’s birthplace is none another than Walur. As per researcher’s statement, today’s area under the Selu was included into an emperor Ashoka’s empire. After Mourya emperors decayed, this area was ruled by Satwahan, Rashtrakut, Wakatak and Devgiri’s Yadav. During the period of Yadav there was a Hemadri (Hemandpanti) architect whose architecture was considered as a sect of Hemand architecture. At Walur, Hatnur, Chikalthana, Kundi God Shiva’s temple was Hemand sect type of art. Surrounding Walur there are lonely little hills present. This area was purified by Mahanubhav’s sect (i.e. the lord of Chakradhar) through his wandering. Selu Taluka has great historical background. The Selu area played an important role in Marathwada Mukti Sangram.
