'''Nevasa''' is a city in [[Nevasa tehsil]] of [[Ahmednagar district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]]. Old name of this place are Nidhinivas Nivas and Mahalaya.
Dnyaneshwsr Temple is main temple.
This place is near of [[Pravara river]] this river also called Amritvahini.

==Mohiniraj Temple==
The city of Nevasa is mainly famous for the [[Mohini]]raj temple, the avatar(incarnation) of Lord Vishnu who beheaded [[Rahu]] and [[Ketu (mythology)|Ketu]] while distributing Amrut(sweet liquid which makes anyone immortal).

Every year a big festival of Shri Mohiniraj gets celebrated on the full moon day (Pournima) in the month of Magha of the Hindu calendar, which corresponds to January–February, in remembrance of Lord Vishnu's [[Mohini]] Avatar after [[Samudra manthan]].
The elegantly designed Mohiniraj Temple in Ahmednagar is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The new structure of this temple was constructed in 1773 at a cost of about Rs. 5 Lakhs by Gangadhar Yashwant Chandrachude. The 75 feet tall temple is decorated all over with ornamental work. The shrine houses an image of Mohiniraj, better known as Lord Vishnu. Also, in the Sabhamandap (Meeting Room), several images of other gods and goddesses such as Ganesh, Shiv – Parvati, Shani and Hanuman are displayed for their devotees.

According to a legend associated to this place, at the time when the sea was churned to get Amrut, Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Mohini(a beautiful and enchanting damsel) to distract the demons and deprive them of Amrut. The demons stared at Mohini while Lord Vishnu distributed Amrut to the gods and water to demons.
Throughout the year three fairs are held in the town of Nevasa in honour of Mohiniraj. About fifty thousand people attend these fairs.
Also part of this area is called [[Dandakaranya]]. The place where Lord Ram killed Marich is now a village called Toka, named after the arrow which Lord Rama used to kill Marich. Before Marich was killed by Lord Rama, he threw a Sura(Knife) towards Rama. This village is called [[Suregaon]]. After that he threw Bhala (spear), and hence that place is called [[Bhalgaon]]. Soon after that Marich shot an arrow, that place is called Banganga. At Banganga, the path of the river [[Godavari]] is shaped like a DhanushyaBan(Bow and arrow), so this place is called [[BANGANGA]].
