Sajjangad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sajjangad ( A Spiritual Place of Well known Saint in Maharashtra Sajjangad is a popular place for pilgrims in Maharashtra. This is the well known place of Sant Ramdas Swami - Spiritual guru of Shivaji Maharaj. He lived here for whole of his life and passed away here only. The maintenance of the fort and samadhi of Sant Ramdas is taken care by Shri Ramdas Swami Sansthan, a trust which has existed since the time of Shri Ramdas Swami.
The daily routine on the fort is fixed and strictly followed. It includes morning prayers, Abhishek and Puja, Maha Naivedya, Bhajans and reading of the manuscript Dasbodh written by Sant Ramdas. This is certainly a holy place and no bad behavior is allowed here. The main doors of the fort are closed on sunset to sunrise and hence you cannot enter the fort or even exit from the fort during this time.
Though, Sajjangad is not a picnic spot, but has a lot of spiritual importance. And hence is a nice place to visit.
