MHASAVE.
Mhasave (Parola Taluka, 20° 50' N, 75° 05' E; R. S. Erandol
Road, m. 12; p. 1,057). Two miles east of Parola and 12 miles south-west of Erandol Road railway station (Surat-Bhusaval line), and on the site an older building, is a modern temple dedicated to Jhinjana Devi, a four-handed image cut in white stone. To the east, close together, are two brick and mortar lamp-pillars, dipmals, each sixteen feet round and thirty-one feet high. These pillars are said to be of the same age as the old temple of Jhinjana Devi. A small fair assembles yearly in the month of Chaitra (April). To the north of the temple is a four-sided stone and mortar-built pond 105 feet square and 25 feet deep, with a flight of steps on each side. About 150 feet from the temple to the south-east, are some highly carved and apparently very old remains of a building said to have been dedicated to Turki Devi. The Mhasave reservoir is built close to this village. [ For details sec above.]
