    I belong to Jambhekar family, being my Maaher...and has visited this place twice. All jambhekars spread all over the world has their origin and Gharanyaache Dev..located here which is being taken care by Mr. Sudhakar Jambhekar. Believe me, literally they have 27 naiwedya every day. Since they are performing all necessary pooja's there, we all are staying in calm and peace wherever we are. But they don't get sufficient resources for the same. Its our duty to go their physically atleast once in six months and help them physically rather than just sending few rupees in navratris etc. Lets unite all jambhekars for the bright fortune of ours.
