A hill shrine at Kharsundi in Sangli district, roughly four and a half centuries old, whose main gathering falls on Chaitra Ashtami. Nathbaba is a widely followed kuladaivat of the surrounding country.

Sthala katha — the legend

Siddhanath is said to have two wives, Jogeshwari who lives at the temple and Zakabai near Neilkarnji, and by the first wife's condition he may visit the second only once in three years; the spring at Gohdapur is said to have opened where his horse struck the ground as he fled a snake set to stop the meeting.
