The Ajoba or Ajaparvat (Grandfather Mountain). The mountain
is known to be one of the highest peaks in its range and it is having picturesque
hills around. Ajoba is famous for the Valmiki rishi ashram where goddess sita
was said to be staying after being separated from Lord Rama. A little ahead of
the valmiki ashram is the lav-kush cave. They say Luv-kush's grandfather
trained them here, hence the name Ajoba, which is grandfather in Marathi.
