Description: Khandoba Temple of Jejuri is situated on a small hill, which can be seen while approaching the road. Visitors have to climb almost 200 steps to reach temple. The wonderful view of Jejuri town makes the journey to the temple marvellous. Although the temple is small, but it still looks beautiful with two divisions, Mandap and Gabhara. One can see various stone images of elephants on either sides of the main gateway of the temple. A big 'Khanda'- sword, an attribute of the god is seen hung over the portico. In the garbhagriha, there are two swayambhu lings, that of Khandoba and the other representing Mhalsa, his consort, covered with silver masks. One can easily see the view of Saswad and Dive Ghat if weather permits. Visitors can see a number of "Deep Mala" (Light Stands of Stones) while climbing the hill.
