There are n number of websites dedicated to Saint Shri Swami Samarth Ramdas (स्वामी समर्थ रामदास ) the Spiritual Guru of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ….
However NO INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE on the 11 Maruti temples( अकरा मारुती मंदिर ) established by Shri Swami Samarth Ramdas in the vicinity of Chaphal-Satara area in Maharashtra, India !!!
These 11 Maruti’s are also called as 마루티1ㅣ or “Vaariche Maruti” which is similar to the famous Ashtavinayaka or eight Ganeshas, in Maharashtra, India
So I decided to put information on web & today this page has been reference by many websites including WikiPedia …
In year 1674 coronation of Chatrapati Shivaji took place, wherein Samrath Ramdas wrote a poetry “Anandbhuwani” which refers to the 11 Maruti temples …

Dear Mahesh,
Excellent information !!
Is there any sequence to visit these holy temples just like Astavinayak ?
You had given direction from Satara. I will be travelling from Pune. So which temple will be the first temple? and after then what should be the sequence till Bahe?
If you give some landmarks to approach these places, will be greatful. I am searching for these answers on some sites but unfortunately nothing is available.
Kindly contact me on my e-mail id.

while looking for this information, along with this site also came across this youtube link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qzkCqTEt0Q
should make your blog little more complete
rpp
thanks rpp, for sure this will complete 11 maruti information and make it more complete.
Hi Mahesh,
Thanks for the map and detailed information. I completed 11 Maruti trip last week, in 2 days. Started from Umbraj and last one was Manpadale.
I wanna support from others so that we can create a Facebook page to promote 11 maruti similar to asthavinayak.
Please feel free to write me asm7681@yaoo.in
dear asm7681@yahoo.in
i want to go for 11 maruti darshan with my wife by car.can you suggest me driving direction and decent place to make one //two night stay–arvind pradhan–Thane–ampradhn2003@yahoo.com
Driving direction is you start from Chaphal -Majgaon-Umbraj-Masur-Shahapur, then have a halt for one day and second day continue from Baahe Borgav-Battis Shirala-Pargaon-Manapadal.
Halt you may take at central place such as Karad (many hotels are there and surely you will get stay, I found hotel Sangam on hlidayIQ, but suggest you see the rooms & select). but other places like Chaphal are having their own beauty in nature and given the change you shall stay at such a place (at Chaphal also there is Dharmashala which was in good condition when I saw) it will be different experience to stay in village (my preference)
Thank you Mahesh Sir
can we complete in 2 days all 11 Maruti Darshan , can ladies travel to these temples?
2 days is possible but hectic.
I am not aware of any restrictions on ladies travel.
जय श्री हनुमान जय श्रीराम 🙏😊
Yes! I live in Pune. From Pune, all these 11 Maruti Darshan is possible in couple of days. You can stay at Chafal Bhaktaniwas for one night among these 2 days. Also, ladies can visit these 11 Maruti. I have not seen restriction boards at any Mandir also seen ladies inside these temples. Jay Hanuman and Jay Shriram!!

Reply on shivayog@yahoo.com is Welcome.

It is possible to do by ST bus… However timings you need to check with swargate ST stand

Thank you sir .. If possible please send exact GPS location & few photographs to mahesh@trekbook.in so as to publish on this website
Very useful information.i would like to visit all 11 Maruti. is there any tour arranged from Pune or Kolhapur, to cover all 11 Maruti by any travel co..Thanking you ..a great work..
Nice post Mahesh Sir.
Thanks for sharing 11 Maruti temples post.
Dear Mahesh,
Good information and is given in nice way. Suits the present day globally spread devotees of Maruti. I had opportunity to visit Chaphal Maruti twice, and Masur Maruti once.
Few days back I visited our Sangli Gaon bhag Maruti, and casually asked the Gurav as to how many pradakshina should I do. Looking at my age [79+] withered figure, he said that if I am not casual I should do eleven rounds; then added ‘if you are not casual, in your inquiring’.
I bowed to him silently, went around all the eleven pradakshina, Approaching him to give my offerings to the Lord, I said are you a follower of Samartha? I am deciding/ sankalpa that I will go to Samartha Ramdas Swami “Akra Maruti Darshan”
In my searching I came across your site. Really nice.
Just think: The Sun has 11 year sun-spot cycle.
Pi is 22/7. which can be written as 11/3.5. Rudra are 11. Rudra are equated to Shiva. Shiva is equated to Soorya. On the other end Rudra is equated to Maruti. 3.5 is the 3 & 1/2 rounds of Soma-sootra pradakshina around Shivalinga. 3&1/2 is also the good times or muhoortas for starting any good work.
By the way, when I went to Tanjawoor, I visited Samadhi of Tyagaraja, the founder of south Indian Music or Karnataka sangeetha. There near the statue of Tyagaraja, I saw a statue of Maruti in meditation. This is an addition to the common Veera, Dasa forms. He can be “YOGI”
More if, what is written is not scrapped.
God Bless you & the devotees of Maruti.
sir thanks for all the info u have shared ,but i need some more info about Ramdas swami and his worship for hanuman . who was the chosen deity of Ramdas swami? Was he an incarnation of Hanuman ? ..etc .could u share ur number or direct me to a website which has all this info? .
Hi….
THE REASON IS SAMARTH RAMDAS WAS BORN IN THE YEAR 1608 AND DIED IN THE YEAR 1681.. Hence, years mentioned above i.e. 1566 to 1576 need to be checked. What I found our is …..
The years of establishment of these temples with same sequence look like this as follows…..
1644
1645
1648
1648
1649
1649
1649
1651
1651
1651
1654
Hi,
thanks a lot for guiding on the route and sequence to visit the temples as i will be travelling from mumbai to kolhapur. hence it will be feasible for me to cover all the Maruti’s in one go.
thanks once again as i will be following the above mentioned route
जय श्री स्वामी समर्थ 🙏😊
मुझे 11 मारूति के विषय मे कल मालूम पड़ा। मैं पुणे से दर्शन करने कार से जाना चाहता हूँ कृपया कैसे सुरुवात करना चाहिए एवं रास्ते मे किस जगह मुकाम करना चाहिए ये जानकारी मुझे मेरे ईमेल पर भेजने की कृपा करें
Hi Mahesh,
Thank you for great initiative , much appreciated.
Sharing the below Google Maps route for reference of other , depending on from where they are starting there journey they can swap the route stops.
Just thought this will be useful for quick reference & easy to plan journey.

Dear Mahesh is it mandatory to visit all these places in a particular sequence or one can simply follow the route you have posted to avoid traveling the same route many times to complete the darshan in a sequence.
No – it is not mandatory to visit in particular sequence. However to shorten time and distance I have tried to optimize the route. Jai Shri Ram , Jai Hanuman
