DAHIVALI-TARF-NEED
Dahivali (T. Karjat, 18°50' N, 73°25' E; p. 1,354; RS. Karjat, 1 m.). Dahivali, a village on the east bank of the Ulhas half a
mile north of Karjat, was formerly the head-quarters of a subdivision. There are three large temples, one of which, a large handsome building dedicated to Vithoba, has the following inscription on a stone to the north of the temple: 'Parvatibai Pimpalvatkar, Gotra Vasistha, Sak 1714' (A. D. 1792); ' Vaisakh Suddha 13th Tuesday, son Bhikaji, grandson Yisoba, resident of Dahivali.'
A fair is held annually in honour of God Vithoba when over a thousand people attend and a large sale of country woollen blankets is effected. The other two temples are dedicated to God Sankar and God Ganapati.
The village has a primary school, a gas plant and a frog collection centre.
