This temple was built in 1794
and is similar in its architectural design to the nearby Trimbakeshwar
Temple. The temple is 70 feet in height and was the brainchild
of Gopikabai Peshwa. It was built with black stone from the
mines of Ramsej Hill. There is a beautiful gold-plated copper
peak on the temple. There are icons of Rama, Sita and Laxman
lavishly adorned with adornments. The temple is surrounded by
several smaller temples such as the Vithal Temple, Ganapati
Temple and Maruti Temple.
Another important temple is
that of Kala Ram. This temple was built by Peshwas. There are
great processions and utsav on Ramnavami, Dasara and Chaitra
Padwa (Hindu new year day). The specialty of the temple is that
it was built with black stones.The stones were brought from
Ramshej 200 years ago. It took 23 lakhs of rupees and 2000 workers
to build the temple in 12 years. The apex of the temple is made
up of 32 tons of gold. In 1930, Dr. Ambedkar performed Satyagraha,
to allow the entry of Harijans into the temple.
