This is the Mengajai Mata Mandir situated at the peak of the mountain & on the border of 7 villages.From here you can view lot of forts like Sinhgad, Rajgad, Torana...etc. Singhad fort is opposite of this mountain. Here you can see some old caves which were prepared by Shivaji Maharaj -as told by our grandfathers. One of the special feature of this place is here you will find 2 water tanks.

On the occasion of Vijayadashami (Dasara), people from surrounding villages visit this place to worship the deity by offring 'Naivadya' made from Rice & Milk. I have visited this place many times.

To reach here you have to climb the mountain nearly for 3 hrs.
