== Overview ==
According to a folklore decades ago, Shirsala's residents discovered this Maruti's stone idol in the nearby river. They took it to a [[Azadirachta indica|neem tree]] and established it there, where the mandir is now present.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|date=2020-03-19|title=शिरसाळा मारुतीला तीर्थक्षेत्र दर्जाची प्रतीक्षा|url=https://www.lokmat.com/jalgaon/shirasala-awaits-pilgrimage-status-maruti/|access-date=2021-03-04|website=Lokmat|language=mr-IN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sarkarnama.in/top-news-mobile-nashik/activists-opened-temple-chandrakant-patil-attended-62922|title=कार्यकर्त्यांनी मंदिर उघडले; चंद्रकांत पाटलांनी हजेरी लावली|website=www.sarkarnama.in}}</ref>

The [[Hindu temple|Mandira]] is unique because it does not have a ''Shikhar'', ''[[Hindu temple architecture|Amlak]]'', and ''Kada''s. Several other temples are located in the temple premises.<ref name="auto" />

Shirsala Maruti is founded by Samarth Ramdas Swamy.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-21 |title=शिरसाळा मारूतीचे नामकरण ; आता 'या' नावाने ओळखले जाणार |url=https://jalgaonlive.news/naming-of-shirsala-maruti-97506/ |access-date=2024-04-23 |language=mr}}</ref>
