Shegaon Taluka in Buldana District

Shegaon is a town in Buldana District of Mahrastra it is located 550kms to the east of MumbaI. It is connected by   train from the main cities of Maharastra like Mumbai, Nagpur and Kolhapur, by road from all major cities and towns in Maharastra. Nationl Highway on6 is close to Shegaon. The nearest airports  are at Aurangabad and Nagpur. Shegaon is renowned for Shri Gajanan Maharaj’s   temple.
In  1908 ,Shri Gajanan Maharaj  realised that he would be soon renouncing the world. At the same time, one of his disciples Mr. Jagu Patil had initiated talks with other   villagers of Shegaon to build a temple with Shri Gajanan Maharaj as its presiding deity. Everybody willingly accepted his proposal.
During those days there was a feud between the Patil and Deshmukh families in Shegaon and the villagers were divided. Shri Gajanan Maharaj’s earlier monastery   belonged to a person from the ‘mali’ (gardener) community and the persons from this community supported the Deshmukh group. However, the Patil’s family reigned supreme in the village. Shri Gajanan Maharaj did not approve of this division. Hence he insisted that the new temple be built on a land that did not belonged  to anyone.

Later   Shri Gajanan Maharaj told his disciples ”I shall remain here” It was thus decided that the temple will be constructed at the place indicated by the Maharaj. As that land belonged to the local government, Maharaj’s disciple the revered Mr. Hari  Kukaji  Patil made an application to the government in order to obtain the land. In those days , Mr. Curry was the Deputy Commissioner  of Buldana district. He sanctioned one acre of land for the temple in keeping with the 1909 resolusion   of the District Administration. He put the comment on the document that if the sanctioned land was prudently utilised  he would sanction an additional one acre land.
After obtaining the land, .Mr. Hari Patil wished to finance the construction of the temple single  handed but Maharaj had other plans. He wanted to involve all his disciples in the project. So he called for a meeting in  Mr. Narayan  Kadtaji Patil’s shop in Shegaon in 12th September 1909 . This meeting was attended  by his disciples, merchants and villagers. In the meeting , it was convened that the fund for construction of the temple would be accumulated through religious tax that would be levied on the merchandise traded by the villagers. The rate was fixed : 6 paise on every bullock cart loaded with cotton, 6 paise on every bullock cart loaded with grains and 3 paise on every cart loaded with sand. Soon thereafter on 27th  September 1909 there was consensus reached on asking  the farmers to pay 1’anna’(1/16 of rupee) per acre of their land as their contribution towards the construction of the temple .
At the place indicated by Shri Gajanan Maharaj, Mr. Hari Patil placed a stone and the construction of the temple begun around that spot. The exact location of stone was the centre of piece of land registered as survey No.700(43/45-2).Stone, lime and sand were used to construct the temple.
