MATHVAN

Mathvan [ Mr. W. F. Sinclair, C. S.] (Poladpur Peta; 17° 50' N, 73° 15' E; RS. Mumbra, 105 m), a small village five miles east of Mahad and one mile east of the Mahad-Poladpur road, across the Savitri, has round a small modern temple of Mahadev on an old plinth, twelve square battle-stones or monumental pillars, none of them more than five feet high. All the pillars have their four faces covered with sculoture in panels or compartments, much like the sculpture on the pillars at Atganv in Thana.
