Khadavli is a town in Thane district, Maharashtra. It is also a station on the Mumbai Suburban Railway system on the Central Line route between Bhiwandi and Kasara. Khadavli is known for a Datta mandir of Shri Satguru Swami Mayekar Maharaj in khadavli.[citation needed] This temple is located in the interior and has a "Trimukh Odumbar" tree in its premise. An Ashram of Shri Satguru swami Mayekar Maharaj is present besides the Batsa river. This place is popular with youngsters, who come to this river during any time of the year for swimming.[citation needed] A bridge was built across the river (this is actually an over flow of the Batsa Dam) in 2008 because the old bridge submerges during heavy rains. The nearest market place from the station on the east is Pagda. Transportation to Padga includes sharing rickshaws and State Transportation buses.
Khadavli river can be visited by road or railways. The river water flows continuously. The nearest village is called Sorgaon and is located between Khadavli river and Padgha. On the day of Rangpanchami, the young boys and males visit the river for having bath.[citation needed]
The local villagers have approached court to get a stay order over construction in and around Khadavli.[citation needed] The real estate growth has contributed in changing the face of Khadavli. It is affecting the eco-system and living of the locals.[citation needed] New buildings have cropped up, which is further straining and causing damage to the environment.[citation needed]
