An ancient place of worship in the heritage fortress, considered to be from the 11th century, this temple complex dedicated to Lord Ram is one of the oldest in Maharashtra.
According to legends, God Ram during his Van Vas,(exile to the forest) visited this place and met Sage Agastya and on the advice of Sage took an oath to destroy the evil kingdom of Ravana.
There are many temples within the premises including dedicated to Lord Ram, Laxmana, Kausalya Devi, Ekadashi Mata, Varaha, Agastya Ashram and many more.
There is also a memorial to Maha Kavi Kalidas.
The path to the complex is dotted with shops and eateries.

After reaching, you may park at the base of the mountain and take the hundreds of steps to the temple, or you may drive to the top and then you would just need to climb around 25 to 30 steps that come after intervals.
The temple compound is clean,
The temple area is supposed to be full of monkeys, but fortunately we didnt see more than one troupe of 5-6 monkeys.
These monkeys are know to snatch things from your hand, hoping to find food.
