Patit Pavan Mandir
Patit Pavan Mandir, also known as Patit Pawan Temple, is a historic temple located in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. The temple was conceptualized by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who envisioned it as a place of worship open to all castes without discrimination. It was funded by businessman Bhagoji Baloji Keer and inaugurated on 22 February 1931.
The temple's name, Patit Pavan, means "savior of the downtrodden," symbolizing its role in promoting social equality and inclusivity. At the time, those from the Dalit caste were considered untouchables and not allowed to enter temples. This temple was built to allow people of all castes to worship together.
The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Lakshmi Narayan, and it is known as the National Pilgrim Centre of Social Equality. The temple also hosts the Akhil Hindu Ganeshotsav, a festival initiated by Savarkar to promote unity among all Hindus.
