History

Statue of Maharaja Yashwantrao Martandrao Mukne of Jawhar State

Mukne built the Mahalakshmi Temple, Dahanu on the installation of the flag of Jawhar.[5] According to peoples, he had a small mud fort at Mukane near Tal pass as a Polygar. Once, visiting at a shrine at Pimpri, he was blessed by five mendicants and saluted as Raja of Jawhar. Thereupon he marched northwards and was acknowledged by peoples of Peint and Dharampur. He went to Surat and as far north as Kathiawar in Gujarat. There he remained for seven years. On his return from Kathiawad, he went to Jawhar and conquered it. He married Rani Mohanabai of Dharmagad. Rani gave birth to two sons named Nem Shah and Holkar Rao Mukne. After his death, he was succeeded by his elder son Nem Shah on 5 June 1343. Nem Shah was recognized as a Raja of Jawhar and given the title of Shah by Sultan of Delhi Sultanate Muhammad bin Tughluq.[6][7][8]
