2) Masur - Maharudra Hanuman > Worrship is done by Kulkarni family of Bramhapuri, Hanuman Jayanti festival is celebrated on Chaitra Shudhha 15 every year. This is the best and most beautiful in all 11 temples. To the left & right of main idol Shivaji Maharaj & Shri Swami Samartha are painted on the wall.

3) Das Maruti > Hanuman is in Namaskar position it is standing in front of Ram in Chaphal temple

4) Pratap Maruti > situated behind Shri Ram temple of Chaphal also called as Bhim Maruti, Pratap Maruti or Veer MAruti. Festival is celebrated at Sharavan Vadya 30. You can stay at Monestery in Chaphal near Ram mandir (this facility I have seen in 2009, so you can stay there)

5) Shinganvadi > very near to Chaphal. Ramghal is located where Swami Samrtha used to do meditation. Also spring water called as Kubadi Tirtha is found here. It is said that Swamiji created this to give water to thirsty Shivaji Maharaj. This is the smallest temple of all 11 temples.

Answer 3

Go to Appa Balavant Chowk in Pune or Keshav Bhikaji Dhavale, Girgaon, Mumbai and buy the book, "Samarth Sthapeet Akara Maruti", price Rs. 15.

These places are not well connected by roads and hence are not possible to be seen on Google Maps or Mapmyindia.
