Shrigonda is a municipal council in Ahmednagar district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The place is described as Santanchi Punyabhumi (Holy Land of Saints). 

Sheikh Muhammad lived and died here. Sheikh Muhammad was sufi philosopher.

This place has a long history tracing back to the 13th Century. In the ancient time Shrigonda was known by the ""Chambargonda"". In the 17th century, during the Scindia regime about 208 acres (0.84 km2) of land was donated to Shri Hari Mahapurush, the 7th generation descendant of Shri Pralhad Maharaj Mahapurush. Shri Hari had only one son, Narayan. Narayan had three sons – Vishnu, Dattatraya and Gopal. Of the three, Dattatraya spent his life in Kirtan and Pravachan and enlightenment of Bhagwat Dharma. He was instrumental in starting a religious movement among the illiterate class and especially farmers of Shrigonda Taluka. There are over a lakh of his followers all over Maharashtra. After his nirvana in 1992, his followers contributed and built his Samadhi near the Samadhi of Shri Pralhad Raj and other ancestors. The sons of Dattatraya and Gopal devoted their time to Bhajans and Kirtans.
