Until a few years ago the coastal road that goes south from Alibag used to terminate at Revdanda where it encountered the Kundalika creek.

The history of Revdanda and the surrounding villages are quite similar to Chaul, due to their close proximity to the town.

In 1505, Portuguese commander Dom Lourenço de Almeida defeated the Muslims and conquered the area around Chaul.

In 1508, Venetian mercenaries along with the Mamluk navy had allied with Sultanate of Gujarat and defeated the Portuguese in the Battle of Chaul.

In October 1531, the Portuguese erected a new square stone fortress, named Santa Maria do Castello, which contained a church and dwellings for 120 men.

After the successful campaign by the Marathas, the tower bells from the local churches had been taken as victory symbols and came to be installed in temples.

A foundation stone for the monument in memory of Afanasy Nikitin, the first Russian traveller to India was laid at Revdanda.

[citation needed] The plantations of coconut trees is called "naralachi baag" or "wadi" in Marathi language.

The temple has a three-headed statue of ShriDatta and this idol represents the trinity of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara.
