The God of Marol village is known as Marleshwar. The temple is situated in a cave. Near it there is a waterfall of Dhareshwar. It is said that Lord Parshuram did the foundation of the temple.
The wedding of Lord Marleshwar is performed with Goddess 'Girijadevi' of Sakharpa village. There are many snakes in the cave by they have never bitten any of the devotee who came to visit this temple; in the cave, as a result the faith of devotees has increased. Believe me I have been there many times and even touched a live snake!!
The Sahyadri Mountains ranges can be seen from here. This spot is being developed by the govt. as the tourist attraction centre. The govt. is also planning to make arrangements of accommodation at the footsteps of the cave. It is one of the important Tourist visiting place.
