Shivthar Ghal, also known as Sundarmath, (Sundarmath means Beautiful Monastery), is a cave, about 34 km from Mahad, near Barasgaon, Maharashtra, India. Shivthar Ghal is located in Varandha Ghat in the Sahyadris on the Bhor-Mahad road. In monsoons, a waterfall falls in front of the cave.
Samarth Ramdas dictated Dasbodh to Kalyan Swami.[citation needed] Samarth Ramdas lived here for about 22 years. It is believed that this is where the first meeting between Maratha king Shivaji and Samarth Ramdas took place.[citation needed]
