Patit Pavan Mandir
Patit Pawan Mandir, also known as Patit Pawan Temple,[citation needed] is a Hindu temple in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India.
There is debate over the history of the creation of the temple, especially regarding the contributions of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Bhagoji Baloji Keer. The Nationalist Congress Party claims that Keer, a great philanthropist, built the temple in Ratnagiri under his own initiative.[better source needed]
According to Jyoti Trehan, the temple was conceptualized by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. It was built by businessman Bhagoji Baloji Keer and inaugurated on 22 February 1931.[page needed]
Savarkar approached Bhagoji Baloji Keer, a businessman and admirer of Savarkar, who readily agreed to fund the project at a cost of ₹2.5 lakh. The temple's foundation stone was laid on 10 March 1929 by Kurtkoti, and it was formally inaugurated on 22 February 1931. Savarkar named the temple Patit Pavan, meaning "savior of the downtrodden."
The idea that Savarkar advocated for any caste, including the Dalit, to be allowed into the temple is contested.[by whom?][citation needed]
Akshay Jog documents the story in this way: Shriman Bhagojisheth Keer was a business man and member of the Bhandari caste.[better source needed][better source needed] Because his people could not access a normal temple, he built a private temple for his people to perform Puja, a type of worship or prayer.[better source needed] He invited Savarkar to a festival at the temple. Savarkar challenged Keer to build a temple for all, regardless of birth caste, and Keer accepted the suggestion and the template was built.[better source needed]
Jog reports intercaste dining (known as Rotibandi) was also taboo.[better source needed] In 1931, 75 women attended the first inter-caste dining event held at the temple, called a Sahabhojan, at the temple; follow up events grew larger.[better source needed] In 1933, a cafe staffed by untouchables was opened to all Hindus.[better source needed]
In 1930 when orthodox section of Brahmins started sabotaging the growing activisim against untouchability, they passed a resolution that untouchables would not be allowed in Vitthal Mandir during Ganapati festival. Savarkar opted for a separate Ganapati festival for Hindus in order to counter the move. The idol installation was done by a lower caste and the prize for reciting Gayatri Mantra was also won by a lower caste in the festival.
