Pais Khamb, Nevasa – The Sacred Pillar Associated with Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj

Welcome to Nevasa, a historically and spiritually significant town in Maharashtra, closely associated with the life and work of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj. One of the most important spiritual landmarks here is the Pais Khamb, also known as the sacred pillar associated with Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj. According to tradition, it was at Nevasa that Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj composed the Dnyaneshwari, his famous Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. The official Ahilyanagar district tourism information also records that Sant Dnyaneshwar wrote the Dnyaneshwari in Nevasa beside a pillar that is still preserved here. The Pais Khamb therefore holds a special place in the spiritual history of Maharashtra. For devotees of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, this is not simply an old stone pillar—it is a powerful symbol connected with one of the most important works of Marathi spiritual literature.
