. Khadavli is known for a Datta mandir of Shri Satguru Swami Mayekar Maharaj in khadavli. This temple is located in the interior and has a "Trimukh Odumbar" tree in its premise. An Ashram of Shri Satguru swami Mayekar Maharaj is present besides the Batsa river. This place is popular with youngsters, who come to this river during any time of the year for swimming. A bridge was built across the river (this is actually an over flow of the Batsa Dam) in 2008 because the old bridge submerges during heavy rains. The nearest market place from the station on the east is Pagda. Transportation to Padga includes sharing rickshaws and State Transportation buses.
