Named places of worship on record
The principal temple recorded for Karvir mandal is Revansiddha Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Ambewadi itself.
Kolhapur's Mahalaxmi, called Ambabai here, is counted among the Shakti Peethas, and Navaratri is the temple's fullest season. The same shrine is known for Kirnotsav, when the setting sun's rays fall directly along the sanctum onto the idol on a few fixed days of the year.
By population, Ambewadi ranks #68 of 120 villages in Karvir mandal.
