Mallikarjun Mandir

Place is very peacefully and after going inside you will feel devoted to God Shiva..

Mallikarjun hill in Valva, about 304.80 metres (1,000 feet) above the plain, is a point in the range of hills which breaks off from the Kandur spur at Yeupe about 19.31 km (twelve miles) south-west of Karhad and with a break at the joint boundaries of the villages of Itkare and Yede Nipani runs as far as Pokharni and Bavaci close to Aste. The hill is more or less conical in shape with a flat plateau of about 4.04 hectares (ten acres) on the top. The ascent can be made from Malevadi on the south or from Yede or Gotkhindi on the north from 3.21 to 4.82 km (two or three miles) either way. On the flat plateau at the summit are three large tombs of Musalman saints or pirs and several smaller ones much resorted to by devout Musalmans. The chief mausoleum is of Cand, a native of Bokhara in Tartary who is said to have lived here as a devotee and died some three or four and a half centuries ago. A hundred years later one Gavri built him the mausoleum which is a whitewashed stone building with a small dome about 1.85 m2 (twenty feet square) and 6.09 (twenty feet) high. Another follower Badruddin of Baghdad in Turkey in Asia came some 130 years ago and his disciple one Satu, a Maratha from Sangli built his mausoleum. Annaji, son of Satu, built another to his father's memory adjoining Badruddin's and Annaji's son Naikji later used to live in attendance at the mosque. Naikji has built a Hindu temple to his father Annaji which lies on the south-east while ascending the northern slope from Gotkhindi. The temple of Mallikarjun lies about 213.36 metres (700 feet) off the plain. At less than a third of the way or about 60.96 metres (200 feet) from the plain is the Patal Ganga spring. From here a path with steps leads about 134.11 metres (400 feet) higher up to the first terrace which was built on to the side of the hill in mortared masonry by one Sidappa Gogre of Panhala about 1830. About 22.86 metres (75 ft.) higher is another and the chief terrace also built by Gogre about 18.28 metres (sixty feet) long by 6.09 metres (twenty ft.) broad and_ on a level with some caves which are dedicated to Mallikarjun. Round the north-east and west sides up to the various buildings is a parapet. The entrance is up some steps a little east of the centre. A little west of the centre and in the middle of the terrace are two lamp pillars or dipmals with a basil platform between.
