History and religious importance

Shendurni belonged to Tatyasaheb Dikshit, the family priest of Baji Rao II, the last of the Peshwas. The Dikshits were the first family in whose favor Baji Rao spoke to John Malcolm, and Shendurni was granted to them instead of Dalehkhand in Hindustan. This was during John Malcolm's tenure in office 1 November 1827 – 1 December 1830. In Shendurni Mahanubhav Panth founder Shri Chakradhar Swami came. And In the middle of the City Shri Datta Mandir Sansthan Temple is there. One temple is outside Vandeven. Outside of the town to the south, with a well fifteen feet by twelve and a broad flight of steps leading to the stream, is an old Hemadpanti temple sacred to Mahadev. The hall, forty-two feet by thirty, is built of long blocks of solid stone, and the roof is supported by stone pillars. Connected with the temple are about twenty minor shrines, some of them with curious carving. In the middle of the town, in an earthen cave, is an image of the god, Trivikram, in whose honor a yearly fair is held. According to local tradition, the god Trivikram, appearing to him in his sleep, implored Kadoba Buva Maharaj Teli, a famous local saint, to release him from his earthen prison. Kadoba Buva Maharaj began to dig in the market-place, found the image, and set it in the place where the temple now stands.
