Kajgaon, m. 3; p. 567), three miles from Kajgaon railway station (Bombay-Itarsi line) on the road to Bhadgaon, has a Mahanubhav temple dedicated to Krsnanath. A domed building of stone, brick, and lime, the temple is twenty-one feet square and thirty-two feet high, and is said to be about 280 years old.
