The Vitthal-Rukmini Temple at Pandharpur is traditionally associated with the Yadava dynasty who ruled parts of Maharashtra during the 12th-13th centuries. The Yadavas were devotees of Vitthal (a form of Vishnu-Krishna) and contributed significantly to the temple's development. The other temples listed have different historical origins - the Lenyadri and Karla caves are Buddhist, while Kolhapur's Mahalaxmi temple has earlier origins.
