Overview
Hanuman Tekadi Temple at Wali / Roha is the current page identity. The older Hanuman Tekdi record at Nagpur is a different temple and remains untouched.
The source places the shrine on a hill above Roha and describes panoramic views toward the town, Kundalika River, Avchitgad and Dhavir Maharaj Temple. Independent local material also supports the hilltop sunset and walking identity.
Exact foundation, founder, administration, official contact and a temple-specific Samarth Ramdas connection are not publicly documented. Broader Maharashtra Hanuman tradition is not converted into this shrine’s history.
Main Deity and Sacred Forms
Source-recorded image
The supplied document describes an old carved image adorned with sindoor; no temple-published iconographic inventory was found.
Associated sightlines
Dhavir Maharaj Temple and Avchitgad are part of the visible or nearby sacred landscape, not claimed as sub-shrines inside this temple.
Direction
Entrance, sanctum and deity cardinal directions are not publicly documented.
Name and Meaning
“Hanuman Tekadi” means the Hanuman temple on the hill. The Marathi place-word is the clearest identity marker for the Wali / Roha shrine.
Sacred Story and Legend
The exact origin of this hill temple is not publicly documented. Local and supplied material describe it as an old Roha shrine and viewpoint, but no reliable foundation year or patron is published.
The source connects the site to the broad Maharashtra legacy of Samarth Ramdas. No evidence was found that Ramdas founded or visited this exact Roha temple, so that connection is retained only as regional background and not as its sthala-purana.
History and Timeline
Exact identity
The supplied short link resolves to the Wali / Roha hill at 18.4375454, 73.1142084.
Local standing
Zilla Parishad Raigad describes a Roha-city Hanuman temple as old and prominent, while not naming the hill pin explicitly.
Foundation
Exact year, founder and patron are not publicly documented.
Administration
No verified trust, official website, phone or email was found for this exact shrine.
Architecture and Temple Layout
Hilltop platform
The elevated natural setting and formed approach define the visitor experience.
Road and steps
The source records both a road to the top and pedestrian steps on the hillside.
Carving claim
Intricate carving is retained as a source-recorded description, not an independently surveyed architectural classification.
Materials and plan
Exact stone type, construction date, sanctum plan and structural history are not publicly documented.
Spiritual Importance
The climb and open horizon frame Hanuman worship through courage, steadiness and service rather than through an unsupported miracle narrative.
Roha’s official regional description supports Tuesday and Saturday Hanuman worship and Hanuman Jayanti, while village-jatra material remains taluka-wide context.
Special Features and Facts
Roha hill identity
The Wali / SH 97 pin distinguishes this temple from similarly named Tekadi shrines elsewhere.
Panoramic setting
Local material supports views across Roha and sunset from the hill.
Walking approach
Road and steps make the hill a devotional walk as well as a viewpoint.

- The hill has road and step approaches. Carry water, use safe footwear and reassess access during heavy monsoon weather.
- Exact history, founder, management, contact, aarti times, structural details and cardinal directions are not publicly documented.
- No source establishes a temple-specific Samarth Ramdas connection; do not present the broader Maharashtra tradition as this shrine’s foundation.
