Established in 1849 by Balwantrao Vithoji More, Shree Dhavir Maharaj Temple stands as the spiritual heart of Roha. As the town's Gramdaivat, it holds deep significance for the local community and is notably one of only three temples in India where the police offer a formal ceremonial salutation to the deity. Visitors are often moved by the powerful 'swaroop' of Lord Shiva and the temple's well-maintained, tranquil grounds. The site is particularly vibrant during the Navratri festival and the Dasara Palakhee procession, offering a deep dive into the region's religious traditions amidst a backdrop of scenic Maharashtrian beauty.
