Jejuri (Marathi pronunciation: [d͡ʒed͡zuɾiː]) is a city and a municipal council in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India.[2] Khandoba Mandir is an important Hindu temple to the Hindu Lord Khandoba,[3] one of the most visited tirtha (holy places) in Maharashtra.
Khandoba is a clan god for many Maharashtrian castes and communities, beloved as a god who grants wishes. His wives Mhalsa and Banai represent their caste groups, the Lingayat Vanya of Karnataka and the nomadic shepherds, the Dhangar tribe.[4]
