Possible origin of name

There is a local belief that the names of Datyane and Jiwhale (on the opposite bank of the river) come from
the age of Ramayana. At the time of Ramayana, when the god Ram killed the demon Marich the teeth of
the Marich fell on one side of the Banganga river and the tongue fell on the other side. In Sanskrit teeth is
'Dant' and tongue is 'Jiwha'. These became 'Daat' and 'Jibha' in Marathi. 'Datyane' may be derived from
Dant (Daat) and Jiwhale may come from Jiwha (Jibha).
