NIGDI
Nigdi a village (Koreganv T; 17° 25' N, 74° 10' E; RS. Rahimatpur
7 m. SE; p. 1,591), on the right bank of the Krshna eleven miles south-east of Satara and four miles south-west of Rahimatpur has the samadhi of a famous religious teacher or mahapurush named Raghunathsvami. In 1791, Major Price noticed it as being in possession of fraternity of Gosavis to whom it was originally granted by Chhatrapati Shivaji [Memoirs of a Field Officer, 260.].
On the same side as the village is a very old stone temple of Shri Ranganath Svami. The temple is visited by people who come to visit the samadhi. An annual fair is held in honour of the samadhi.
