"Mauli is our Kul Devi in my village in Pedne, where all Pednekars' come from. Her old stone carved statue, which is next to a stream of crystal clear freshwater, is said to have medicinal property. It is at least 400 years old and in the same complex is a newer temple made," she said.
Explaining further about the temple, the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor said the pilgrimage consists of three temples each one with a specific significance.
