A resident of Kavilkate. Ramachandra Madye was a devotee of Datta. This temple was built by Sri Ramchandra Raoji Madye, Baba gave him one rupee and with that one rupee in 1919 the death anniversary was celebrated everywhere in Kudal. And in 1922 he built Baba’s temple at Kudal.
History of the Temple:
He had a vision that Lord Dutt was residing in Shirdi in the form of Sai. And that is why this servant of Datta who was always engrossed in chanting the name of Sri Gurudev Datta turned to Shirdi. When he first saw Sri Sai, he was overwhelmed and almost lost his sanity. This devotee was extremely happy to meet Dutt. Then Sai Baba gave him one rupee. They kept it as it was, as it was a treasure of little value. He then took many residents of Kudal with him to Shirdi and gave them the benefit of Sai Darshan.
In 1918, Sai Baba took Mahasamadhi on Vijayadashami, Tuesday, October 15. In 1919, Baba’s first death anniversary was celebrated in public for the first time in Kudal apart from Shirdi under the supervision of Madye Bua. This time he used one rupee given by Baba. Then, on Sai Baba’s fourth death anniversary in 1922, Madye Bua built the actual Sai Temple. He installed a six feet idol of Sai Baba, the idol of Shri Baburao Sarang.
After Baba’s mahasamadhi, as per his wish, his mortal body was kept at Batti Wada in Shirdi and a tomb was erected over it. A photo frame was placed there. After 36 years in 1954 Mr. A five and a half feet statue of Balaji Vasant Talim was installed in the Samadhi Temple of Shirdi. Late Shri Nagesh Atmaram Sawant was actively associated with the installation of the statue. He was the manager of Sai Institute for a long time. In an article written by him called ‘Shri Sailila’ he has told about the Madye Buwa temple of Kudal.
In 1983, the temple built by Dattadas Madye Bua was renovated and a seven and a half feet idol was installed by Shri Sham Sarang i.e. the son of Shri Baburao Sarang. From 1922 to 1946 the temple was managed by Dattadas Madye Bua and from 1946 to 1999 by his son Shripad Madye and then by his great grandson Shri Rajan Madye.

Valaval village surrounded by dense forest and the beautiful and calm lake next to the temple adds to the beauty of the temple. Experts say that this temple is about eight hundred years ago.

The design of the temple, the idols and carvings of the Navagraha deities on the door and pillars are very neat and beautiful and are worth researching closely.
The 6th century name of Walawal village was Ballavalli. Due to the densely forested mountains, valleys, and the Kurli river flowing from the north of the village, the village has been inaccessible like a forest fortress since ancient times. Therefore, Rajerjwade, officials of this area have taken shelter of this village since ancient times. In the 11th century AD, Shilahar kings lived in this place. Later, from the Vijayanagar period to the Bahmani and later Bijapur rule, the Prabhudesai dynasty held the fiefdom of village. He also lived in Walawal village.
Muslims captured Goa in 11th century AD. At that time, Brahmins brought the idol of Shri Dev Naroba from Harmal village in Pedne Mahal in Goa to Walawal village. At that time Chandrabhan and Suryabhan were the officers here.
He built the temple of Narayana and gave the income of Valavali village to the temple. A shrine of Kalyan Purusha, who founded the temple, has been built between the lamp posts in front of the temple. The time of establishment of Lakshmi Narayan temple should be around 1350 to 1400 AD. The construction of the temple is of Chalukya style and the construction of the original temple was added.
