The Jahagirdar’s of the Deccan are closely associated with the Nevasa temple.

The Jahagirdars of the Deccan, particularly the Bhojraj Pant Jahagirdar family, have long been closely associated with the Mohiniraj Temple in Nevasa. This historic temple, dedicated to Lord Mohiniraj (a form of Lord Vishnu), has been a significant site of devotion for centuries. The Bhojraj Pant Jahagirdar family played an instrumental role in the temple's preservation and upkeep, being one of its most ardent followers and protectors.

Bhojraj Pant Jahagirdar, in particular, is a prominent name tied to the temple's history. Under his patronage, the temple flourished, and his family's commitment to the shrine ensured its sustained reverence within the local community. Even today, the Jahagirdar family continues to maintain a deep connection with the temple, regularly participating in rituals and acting as guardians of its heritage. Their devotion and stewardship have contributed to preserving the temple's legacy, ensuring it remains a vibrant center of spiritual activity in the region. This enduring relationship reflects both their reverence for the divine and their commitment to cultural and religious preservation.

Sankalia in the 1950s and by G. Karve-Corvinus in 1967. Nevasa's Aeneolithic layer reveals a settled agricultural culture characterized in the second millennium B.C. by implements (elongated plates) similar to those of the Harappa civilization, in modern-day Pakistan.
