Murud is a growing tourist spot famous for its scenic beaches, ancient temples and medieval sea fort.

The social reformer Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve, Bharat Ratna was born here in 1858.

Durga Devi Mandir's pillars and roof are carved out of wood with intricate figures and is delightfully painted in pastel shades.

A huge metal bell, supposedly brought from the Vasai fort by Chimaji Appa is also on display.

A museum housing rare photographs and articles used by Maharshi Karve is maintained by Vaze family.
