This is the Jalsamdhi (watertomb) place of Eknath Maharaj. Nath merged his soul in Brahmanda at Krishnakamalaateerth. His body was cremated at this place. The next day Tulsi and pimpal seedlings sprouted. At that place, Padukas were established by Nath’s son Haripandit. The wooden core temple that we see today is built by the 11th descendant of Eknath Shri Bhanudas Maharaj Gosawi, Jahagirdar and the main fortification is built by Ahilyabai Holkar.
To the right side of the samadhi of Nath are the samadhis of the ancestors of Nath and to the left-hand side are the samadhis of the descendants. At the route of Pradakshina, there is the Samadhi of Udhava, a disciple of Nath; and at the north door there is the samadhi of Gavoba, a disciple of Nath. Mahapooja of the samadhi is performed at all Dwadashis. Shri Eknathshashti is celebrated at a grand level at this place. For this festival, millions of people gather from all over and outside of the Maharashtra
