The town of '''Aundh''' is situated 26 mi. S.E. of [[Satara district|Satara]]. Population (in 1911) about 3500,<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Aundh}}</ref> home of the [[Aundh State]], a [[princely state]] (1699–1947). It is now part of [[Satara District]] in [[Maharashtra State]].

[[File:Deepmal at Yamai temple Aundh Satara India 15393016 10207854876154055 1249608055689690084 o.jpg|right|thumb|Deepmal outside the Yamai temple]]

The town is known for its very old hill temple of the Devi [[Yamai]]. The Devi [[Yamai]] is the [[kuldaiwat]] of many Marathi families. The top of the temple has images and idols of various Hindu Gods. The temple complex also contains the "Shri Bhavani Museum". The present head of the former ruling family, Gayatridevi Pantpratinidhi has installed a 7 kg golden 'Kalash' or crown on the pinnacle of the Yamai temple on the hill at Aundh.

Another temple of Devi [[Yamai]] is located in the town; apart from the one on the hill.

The Yamai temple holds an annual fair (Yatra) in honour of the goddess Yamai on the [[Pournima]] (Full moon day) in the Shaka month of [[Paush]] ( mid January). The yatra attracts thousands of devotees. One of the attraction of the fair is the lighting of the giant stone lamp stand (Deepmal). The fair includes food vendors, vendors selling local novelties, talent shows and movies.

The town falls under Satara District and has a [[Gram Panchayat]] (Parish council), with a member of the former ruling family serving as the Sarpanch (Head of the council).

==Shri Bhavani Museum==

This museum has the distinction of being one of the first art museum in India set up by an Indian as an Art Museum rather than as a museum of artefact. The museum contains art collection that was formerly owned by [[Bhawanrao Shriniwasrao Pant Pratinidhi|Shri Bhawanrao Pantapratinidhi]], the last ruler of Aundh state. The museum collection includes paintings and sculptures of various well-known artists including [[Raja Ravi Varma]] and the famous "Mother and Child" stone structure by [[Henry Moore]]. It also has various works of art by former alumni of the [[Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art|J.J. school of art]] such as [[M. V.
