Raming Bet Bahe |
Samarth Ramdas installed the Maruti idol here in 1651
behind the Ram temple. The temple is in an extremely pleasant and
salubrious location. It is said that Ram and Laxman rested briefly in
the village Bahe on their way back from slaying Ravan. It is also said
that Samarth Ramdas was inspired to write the BhimRoopi Stotra filled with devotion while he was contemplating on this Maruti. Among all the eleven Maruti installed by Samarth, this Maruti is located at the most beautiful location. Along with the Maruti temple, there are many small islands and Samadhi located here. The Macchindra fort is located close by. The tome Krishan-Mahatma refers to this place as BahuKshetra (place of strength). Bahe’s Maruti is one of eleven established by Samarth Ramdas Swami.
