The story goes back to 1927. The founder of the Waman Group late Mr. Waman Dhondu Bagalkar started “Waman Bhojanalaya” at Girgaon (Phanaswadi), Mumbai. “Waman Bhojanalaya” fostered a culture of quintessential Malwani sea- food. Very soon, “Waman Bhojanalaya” became synonymous with consistent quality and superb taste of Malwani sea-food.

In the year 1951, Mr. Waman Bagalkar also started “Wamanashram” at Malwan Port, (Malwan Dhakka/Bandar). In those days the port was very popular for import and export trade.

Kolhapur was different from other cities. In those days Kolhapur was one of the important cities where there was gradual development of art, culture, agriculture and education. Kolhapur was a big city near Malwan. So he decided to shift to Kolhapur with his two sons, Mr. Vijay and Mr. Anand. It was very difficult to run two hotels in different places because traveling to two different places was time- consuming. So he closed “Waman Bhojanalaya” in 1961 and after two years closed “Wamanashram” in 1962. He started “Waman Guest House” at Kolhapur in 1962-1963. He personally looked after the hotel till 1970.
