So many years I have been traveling to Aurangabad for official tours, used to see Devgad Mandir (temple) beautiful entrance on the way, this time got an opportunity to visit it.just 53 kms from Aurangabad (on the way towards Pune) or 70 kms from Ahemadnagar (on the way to Aurangabad) you can see huge entrance with elephant statues on both sides, just drive in 5 kilometers from the main road to get to this place, it takes hardly 15 minutes to get in.

Primarily this is the temple of lord Dattatrya. The temple area is huge and noticeably clean, having stay facility (Bhakta niwas), boats if you wish to take a ride in river Pravara, plenty of parking place. shops are also organized in main entrance building. i could see lot of efforts being put in to maintain the premises.

Village Devgad is situated just east of Shaneshwar.

The temple is 24 hours open for the visitors.

Annadan (distribution of free food) is available.

A Dharamashala as called as Bhakta Nivas (a place of free shelter and food) is also available.

History of Devgad Maharaj

Kisangiri Baba always thought of the welfare of the society.

After enduring hard austerity for 12 years one banks of river Pravara, he returned to Godhegaon.

With his divine knowledge he became the spiritual preceptor, advised the religious massess to go for the pilgrimage of the fourholy places i.e. Char Dham.

He founded the temple of Shree Datta prabhu & the Devgad Sansthan.
