Overview
According to a folklore decades ago, Shirsada's residents discovered this Maruti's stone idol in the nearby river. They took it to a neem tree and established it there, where the mandir is now present.[6][7]
The Mandira is unique because it does not have a Shikhar, Amlak, and Kadas. Several other temples are located in the temple premises.[6]
Maruti Temple is situated 7.45 miles away from the town of Muktainagar and 46 Miles from Jalgaon.[8]
