Welcome to Shree Reda Samadhi Mandir
The Reda Samadhi Temple is a sacred shrine in Pune district, linked to Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj.
The sacred resting place (Samadhi) of the Reda, through whom Shri Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj had recited the Vedas, is located in Aale village, Junnar Taluka, Pune District. Ale village lies 3 km off the Pune–Nashik Highway and 2 km from the Visakhapatnam–Kalyan Highway No. 222, where the Reda Samadhi temple is situated. To the south of the temple is Kolwadi village, while to the north is Santwadi village. On the eastern side stands the hill of Kanifnath, the village deity, and to the west lies Aalephata, a major marketplace on the Pune–Nashik Highway.
Legacy of the Varkari Tradition
A world-famous and unique instance of an animal reciting the Vedas is witnessed in the life of Shri Sant Dnyaneshwar. The village of Aale in Junnar Taluka is home to the Samadhi of that very bull (Reda). Seeing the development that has taken place around this holy site brings great satisfaction. Whenever you travel from Pune to Nashik or from Ahmednagar to Kalyan, you can alight at Aalephata and visit this sacred Reda Samadhi, located just 4 km away in Aale.
