Discover Murbad

When looking for a hotel for a trip to Murbad, you can also choose where to stay based on the cultural themes you want to shape your visit. Deherkar Wada anchors the architectural history in old Murbad; the festival in Mhasa, Sangameshwar, and Bangar Wada add destinations in the surrounding area. This makes it possible to distinguish between a building in town and festival culture or religious history in the area.

Deherkar Wada in old Murbad

Deherkar Wada, a residence in the Kotwalnagar neighborhood, is located in old Murbad. It is believed to have been built by the Chavan family around the 1880s. A description from 2016 mentions niches, wall hooks, and wall ornaments in the Oti area of the Wada.

For you, this distinction can direct attention to the historical context on the one hand and the architectural details on the other.

The festival in Mhasa

An annual traditional large festival is held at Khamblingeshwar / Mhasoba Temple in Mhasa, in Murbad Taluka. A report from 2026 describes its annual nature. The festival lasts 15 days and is said to date back to a tradition of about 250 years. Mhasa is ten kilometers from Murbad.

Tamasha performances, a traditional folk theater, are staged in Mhasa during the festival. Alongside the religious temple occasion, performing arts are therefore also part of the festival program.

Sangameshwar and Bangar Wada in the surrounding area

The old pilgrimage center of Sangameshwar lies near Murbad in Thane district, at the confluence of the Kalu and Doiphodi rivers. The combination of a pilgrimage center and a river confluence gives the place a different theme from Deherkar Wada: there, the focus is on a residence and its architecture; here, on religious history and the two named rivers.

Bangar Wada is located in Bangarpada, 18 kilometers from Murbad. There is a Chandani Chowk there with a Tulsi shrine in the middle and a Hanuman temple. There is also a hall on the first floor and adjoining rooms. While the description of Deherkar Wada mentions niches, wall hooks, and wall ornaments in the Oti area, the description of Bangar Wada covers several named areas of the building.

The locations help with comparison: Deherkar Wada is in old Murbad, while Mhasa and Bangarpada are specified with their own distances from Murbad, and Sangameshwar is near Murbad. If you plan to visit either of the two Wadas, check access in advance. The festival in Mhasa and Bangar Wada in Bangarpada can also be compared by distance: Mhasa is ten kilometers from Murbad, and Bangarpada is 18 kilometers away.
