Yamai
Yamai devi or Shree Yamai devi temple is situated in a hill complex in the town of Aundh, Satara district, Maharashtra. It is said that Goddess Mahalaxmi of Kolhapur and Lord Jyotiba called her as "Ye Mai"(in marathi) which means "Come mother" in English. Hence, She is known as Yamai Devi. There are steps which take you to the top of hill. A rather perilous road can also be used to reach the top by car. The idol of Devi Mahishasur Mardini Yamai in black stone is almost 2 meters high. The temple is the family shrine (kuldaiwat) for a large number of Marathi families. The temple complex also houses the Shri Bhavani Museum established from the private collection of the Maharajas of Aundh. The museum holds paintings by Rao bahadur Dhurandhar, Baburao Painter, Pt. S. D. Satavalekar and Raja Ravi Varma as well as a sculpture by British artist, Henry Moore.
