Samadhi Temple

This is the Jalsamadhi (watertomb) place of Eknath Maharaj. Nath merged his soul in Brahmanda at Krishnakamala Teerth. His body was cremated at this place. The next day, Tulsi and Pimpal seedlings sprouted. At that place, Padukas were established by Nath’s son Haripandit. The wooden core temple that we see today was built by the 11th descendant of Eknath, Shri Bhanudas Maharaj Gosawi, Jahagirdar, and the main fortification was built by Ahilyabai Holkar.

To the right side of the Samadhi of Nath are the Samadhis of the ancestors of Nath, and to the left-hand side are the Samadhis of the descendants. On the route of Pradakshina, there is the Samadhi of Udhava, a disciple of Nath; and at the north door, there is the Samadhi of Gavoba, also a disciple. Mahapooja of the Samadhi is performed on all Dwadashis. Shri Eknath Shashti is celebrated at a grand level here. For this festival, millions of people gather from all over Maharashtra and beyond.

After the Ashadhi Wari of Pandharpur, the second most significant Wari of the Warkari community is organized here. On every Shuddha Ekadashi, thousands of people come to take darshan of the Samadhi. Continuous Veena Seva is offered in the temple, and the Warkari community provides their services through “Akhand Harinam Saptah” — continuous chanting of the name of Hari for seven days. Daily, thousands of devotees visit this holy site.
