Location
Murud is a beach village situated south of Harnai Fort. The village is known for its ancient 18th Century Goddess Durgadevi temple. The temple has 28 pillars with beautiful carvings on it. A large bell hangs on the left side of the entrance. The bell was brought by Chimaji Appa the great Maratha warrior after winning the battle at Vasai. He took the bell from one of the churches.
Murud also has a small lake with a Ganpati idol in the middle of it. In summer when the water level falls or the pond becomes almost dry devotees visit the idol and offer their prayers.
