Gajanan Maharaj was a saint with miraculous powers. He attained ‘samadhi’ on September 8, 1910 leaving behind a rich legacy that attracts millions pilgrims to Shegaon yearly. The temple is built at his place of samadhi. Shegaon has a tourist attraction called Anand Sagar developed by Shri Gajanan Maharaj Mandir Trust on about 350 acres of land. It is a spiritual and entertainment centre for pilgrims, build around a Dhyan Mandir. Over the years, not limiting itself merely to activities of worship, the Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, which is in charge of the temple, has also initiated several social service projects that have led to providing education, medical aid and empowerment facilities for those in need.
