Shri Kshetra Nagzari is a village located approximately 6 to 8 kilometers from Shegaon in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra, India.

The primary religious attraction in Shri Kshetra Nagzari is the Samadhi Mandir of Sant Gomaji Maharaj, a revered devotee of Lord Krishna. The temple is situated on the banks of the river Mohana and is part of a larger spiritual complex that includes a math (monastic institution) believed to have been associated with Gomaji Maharaj. The site features a tunnel, reportedly dug by Gomaji Maharaj for penance, and several sacred water bodies, including Ramkund, Gopalkund, and the Gomukhkund. The Gomukhkund is particularly notable for its hot spring water, where devotees perform rituals and bathing, and is said to be connected to a legend involving the river Purna.
A fair is held annually in honor of Shri Gomaji Maharaj on Chaitra Shudh 4, typically falling in March or April, attracting several thousand visitors.
