Mahalakshmi Temple, Dahanu

The Mahalakshmi temple, or Mahalaxmi Temple, is a temple situated on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway in Dahanu taluka, Palghar, Maharashtra, India. It is dedicated to Mahalakshmi. This temple was built by Koli king Jayaba Mukne of Jawhar State in 1306 at the establishment of Jawhar. During the worship, the flag of the present Raja of Mukne Dynasty of Jawhar is offered to the mother's temple. The flag is presented by Narayan Satava, the priest of the village of Vaghadi.

The responsibility for managing the temple and conducting its rituals was traditionally entrusted to the Satav clan of the Malhar Koli community by the Koli rulers of Jawhar. The present high priest also belongs to this clan. Within Malhar Koli tradition, Mahalakshmi is regarded as the clan goddess (kuladevi) of the Satavs; who are associated with the mountains. Members of the Satav clan are therefore accorded particular respect, both among other Malhar Koli groups and in neighboring tribal communities.
