==History of Chas==

This village is blessed by the presence of [[Dnyaneshwar|Saint Dnyaneshwar]] Maharaj. Sri Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj had recited the Vedas from a Reda (sacred book) named Gyana. Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, Nivrittinath, [[Sopan]], and [[Muktabai|Muktai]], four siblings, took that Reda to Alandi.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
| [[File:Chas Mauli.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|Dnyaneshwar Maharaj at Chas]]
| [[File:Chas History.jpg|thumb|Chas History]]
|}

On their way, the Gyana Reda passed away while they were coming to Ale in [[Junnar]] Taluka. The four siblings were deeply saddened by this loss, and they performed the last rites for Reda in Ale. Later, while traveling to [[Bhimashankar]], they reached the place of Chas. Mauli decided that Redya's Dasakriya ritual should be performed at the Dakshina Vahini river basin. Upon reaching Chas, they saw the southward flow of the river.

The [[Ghod River|Ghod river]] flows eastward at this place, and the area faces naturally south. It was here that Mauli performed the Dashakriya of Redya.

A unique feature of this river is that the Ghodnadi flows from east to south. According to spiritual science, the flow of the Dakshina Vahini river is considered sacred, and bathing in its waters is considered as holy as bathing at the [[Kumbh Mela]].

Mauli established this location for the Dasakriya ritual and performed Redya's final rites according to the scriptural rituals.

'''The 12th Century'''

In the 12th century, the villagers built a stone mausoleum on a square stone platform at this location. This samadhi, which later became known as Mhasoba, the village deity, is the same Mhasoba from whose mouth Mauli had recited the Vedas. Every year, the Mhasoba Yatra Utsav is celebrated with great enthusiasm, from the full moon of Chaitra Shuddha 7 to Chaitra Shuddha 13.

The sanctity of this place is mentioned in many religious texts. This pilgrimage site is famously known as Navsala Pavana Mhasoba. Thousands of devotees have experienced its blessings. Many pilgrims visiting [[Bhimashankar Temple|Bhimashankar]], [[Lenyadri]], and Ozar feel that their journey is incomplete without a visit to this place. The greatness of this place has been unique since the 12th century.

'''1959-1960'''

During this period, Vaikuntha resident H.B.P. Guruvarya Kondaji visited this place to perform kirtan service and explained to the villagers the sacred importance of the site. He encouraged them to build a temple in honor of Saint Dnyaneshwar Maharaj.

Following the request of Dere Baba, a beautiful marble idol of Mauli was created, and a temple shaped like a fish was erected. A nearby temple dedicated to Mukta Devi was also built.

|}

Later, the villagers decided to restore the temple and held a meeting at the Maruti temple. The Bhoomi Poojan (ground-breaking ceremony) for the new temple was performed with the auspicious hands of Sakhre Maharaj of Alandi. Today, a beautiful temple stands in this sacred place.

Since the 12th century, this site has been considered very sacred by devotees. Bathing in the river here is considered as holy as bathing at the [[Kumbh Mela]].

==Agricultural==
[[Agriculture]] is the main occupation of the village. The most commonly grown crop is bajra, along with vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. Farmers also cultivate fruits like grapes and bananas.

The [[Ghod River]] flows through the village, providing a vital water supply for local farmers. The village is also connected to the [[Dimbhe Dam]] water canal. Chas has a reliable water supply from the [[Dimbhe Dam]] Canal, [[Ghod River]], and monsoon rains, enabling farmers to cultivate crops throughout the year.
