Bara Kaman is one of the most fascinating monuments I have visited in Karnataka. These grand stone arches, built in the 17th century, were originally part of an ambitious mausoleum planned by Ali Adil Shah II of the Adil Shahi dynasty. Although the construction was never completed, the remains are breathtaking and still showcase the brilliance of Indo-Islamic architecture. Walking through the site feels like stepping back in time – the massive basalt stone arches create dramatic frames against the blue sky, and the symmetry of the design gives a glimpse of how majestic this structure would have been if completed. The site also contains several tombs, including that of Ali Adil Shah himself. What makes Bara Kaman truly special is the combination of history, mystery, and architectural grandeur. The ruins are beautifully preserved, and the atmosphere is peaceful, making it a great place for photography, heritage exploration, or simply enjoying the silence of history. It’s located right in the city of Vijayapura, and very accessible. I highly recommend visiting if you’re exploring Bijapur’s other iconic landmarks like Gol Gumbaz and Ibrahim Rauza.

There is no entry fee and the monument is open from sunrise (or 8:00 AM) until sunset (or 6:00 PM), making it suitable for a brief stop (about one hour is enough). The approach road can be crowded and parking might be tricky, so autos and cabs are more convenient than personal vehicles. The monument is well maintained, surrounded by gardens, and is highly photogenic.

Beautiful place, very photogenic spot in Vijaypur, recommended to go on mid day for blue sky baground

it is an unfinished structure…. It was planned that twelve arches would be placed vertically as well as horizontally surrounding the tomb of Ali Adil Shah. However, for unknown reasons the work on the structure was left incomplete: only two arches were raised vertically. built in 1672AD, by Ali Adil Shah II, and was supposed to be the burial mausoleum for the king and his wives. Bara Kaman has the tombs of Ali Adil Shah II, his wife Chand Bibi, his mistresses and his daughters. no entry ticket

Unfinished yet captivating Commissioned in 1672 AD by Ali Adil Shah II, Bara Kaman was intended to have twelve arches arranged both vertically and horizontally, surrounding the tomb of the king and his consorts. However, construction was halted—possibly so its shadow wouldn't eclipse the Gol Gumbaz. Today, only a few arches remain, offering a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into ambitious architectural planning . Free to visit, but somewhat tucked away There's no entry fee, and the site is open throughout the day . Located in a narrow, busy lane in the heart of the city, it's often easy to miss . Great for quick visits and photos Reviews describe it as a “short but worthwhile stop,” especially for history aficionados or photography lovers . One traveler remarked: “Incomplete yet majestic — visit in the evening to avoid harsh sun” . Maintenance and parking caveats Some reviews point out limited upkeep, though many find the structure’s rustic charm part of its appeal . Additionally, parking is challenging—narrow lanes and a T-junction setting make it easier to park on nearby main roads and walk to the site . --- Snapshot: Visitor Insights Aspect Highlights Why Visit A fascinating, unfinished Indo‑Islamic monument with haunting architectural beauty Ideal Visit Time Evening is best—to avoid heat and capture dramatic light Entry Details No fee; accessible throughout the day Logistics Central location, narrow access roads, minimal parking Best For History buffs, architecture lovers, photographers, quick cultural stops

Nestled in the middle of the city within the labyrinth of market streets. Not many people. Free entry

Bara Kaman is a fascinating and somewhat haunting monument that offers a glimpse into the architectural ambitions of its time. The unfinished arches create a powerful silhouette against the sky, and the layout gives you a sense of the scale and vision that went into its construction. There's a quiet, almost mysterious feel to the place — not crowded, and ideal if you enjoy exploring historical sites at your own pace. Perfect for a quick stop — just enough time to walk around, snap a few photos, and leave with a sense of wonder. Don’t miss it if you're passing through!

Very nice and calm place in shelgi area earlier this temple was use used as place for marriage ceremony but after complaining of neighborhood people the temple has stopped the organising functions inside the temple . Shri swami Samarth

Nice pleasant and peaceful environment.

A Piece of History Waiting to Shine Located right in the heart of Solapur, next to Siddheshwar Temple and Hutatma Park, this old fort built by the Bahmani dynasty carries a lot of history. The entry ticket is just ₹20, but you’ll need to book it online or pay via UPI – no offline cash option, which makes it difficult for some visitors. Once inside, you’ll see the potential this place has. The huge fort walls still stand strong, and the view of the lake and temple from the top is truly beautiful. There are a few structures still intact, and a big open park area inside. Sadly, it's not well maintained – overgrown grass, dry fountains, and signs of neglect are visible. Basic facilities are there, and since it’s centrally located, shops and food are easily available outside. The fort could easily become a major tourist spot if cleaned and managed properly. For now, it’s a quiet place for a short walk and to take in some local history. If you're interested in heritage sites, it’s worth a one-time visit. #SolapurFort #HeritageSite #SolapurDiaries #HiddenHistory #NeedBetterMaintenance #BahmaniArchitecture #LocalHistory #CityViews #WeekendExplore

This is my hometown, Solapur. This Bhuikot Fort is very ancient and proud structure for us. From the early childhood we have been a frequent visitor here. I visited here again just to relive the memories but it's sad to see it not being maintained properly. Being such an ancient figure it must be properly maintained. But everyone must visit it once.

Bhuikot Fort is so named because it was built on a flat piece of land, rather than on a mountain. It is a historic fort located in Solapur, constructed in the 14th century by the Bahmani dynasty. Over the years, the fort came under the control of several rulers, including the Bahmani dynasty, Aurangzeb, the Nizams of Hyderabad, and the Marathas. It is believed that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb resided here for several years. Later, the fort came under the administration of the Nizams of Hyderabad and the Marathas. The fort is also known as "Shivpattan" and was a key location during the Battle of Kharda in 1795. Today, the fort is in a state of ruin and lacks proper maintenance.

The Bhuikot Fort in Solapur is a hidden gem that offers a serene escape amidst the hustle and bustle of the growing city. The interiors have been transformed into a lush garden, making it a wonderful place to connect with nature and enjoy some quiet moments. The well-maintained greenery provides a refreshing ambiance that is perfect for relaxation or a peaceful walk. Despite the beauty of the gardens, the fort as a whole could benefit from more comprehensive maintenance. The historical significance of the fort deserves better preservation, and with some care, this spot could truly shine as a prominent attraction in Solapur. However, the existing charm of the place still makes it worth visiting. There is a small entry fee, but the experience of immersing yourself in the blend of history and nature makes it worthwhile. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful getaway within the city, the Bhuikot Fort offers a unique experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Historic 14th-century fort in Solapur with gardens and calm surroundings. Good for a short visit, but needs better maintenance.

🏰 Solapur Bhuikot Fort – Solapur, Maharashtra Solapur Bhuikot Fort (सोलापूर भुईकोट दुर्ग) is a historic fort in Solapur, known for its strategic location and architectural features. The name Bhuikot means "built on the ground," distinguishing it from hill forts. The fort has strong stone walls, bastions, and gateways, reflecting the military architecture of the period. It played an important role during the reign of the Adil Shahi dynasty and later under Maratha and British rule.

This is also one of the old Bhuikot killa which has an ancient history.Its is city Solapur near to the main bus stand.

Incredible experience in screen 1…fabulous 7.1 dolby system with 2k projection..worth watching experience after prabhat theater this is solapur’s one of best screen nd sound system must go…

Extremely disappointing experience. The theatre has some of the worst seating I've ever seen — uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and not worth the ticket price at all. Honestly, this cinema hall isn't worth more than ₹100, and even that feels generous given the condition. Would not recommend. . 😠😠😠

Seat arrangements are very good renewed all Everything is good now But the cinema that I saw was Narsimha 3D But they show us 2D movie in price of 3D ticket. Sofa balcony is good but you can't see movie seating there if you choose last row😂 Please improve the last row seating arrangements.

Don't go there to watch movie the ambience is too bad seat quality no cleanliness not a proper chair to sit

Carnival seat is very good but screen small size and sound not be comfortable

Screen is small seats are broken audio of theatre hurts ears waste of money instead pay mote and go to

Please release UDHAYPUR FILES Movie we eagerly waiting for it to see in theatre.... In just our area around 50 people are Waiting to see it .. please bring it 🙏🏻

There's a square mandir in the Chandrabhaga/Bhima river at Gopalpur which is connected by a old stone bridge. In the mandir there's revered Vishnu pada. When the river swells during rainy season the three fourths of mandir and the bridge gets submerged in water

The Vishnupad Temple is located right on the banks of the Bhima River, extremely close to the water. During high monsoon flow, darshan becomes impossible — and today was one such day. Due to the excessive water level, even boat services to the temple were not operating. This was my first time seeing the temple, and it's situated further inward from the riverbank. Right now, the entire temple is submerged in water, with only the rooftop visible. I hope to return again someday when the water level is normal and have the opportunity for full darshan.

Beautiful temple housing the footprints (Pada) of Lord Vishnu and Krishna on the banks of Chandrabhaga river near to Gopalpur. Also visit the small temple of Janabai which is just few metres away.

Vishnu pad ✨✨ It was my backpacking trip to Pandharpur & Badami. We rome around the market & then we went for a boat ride in Chandrabhaga River. The river is very dirty and water is not at all potable, so I would advise you to carry enough drinking water. We started our boat ride from main Ghat to Vishnupad temple at 3:30 pm. It takes around 30 mins by boat to reach dere. I asked boatwala to ferry slow bcause there too many birds to be spotted. I spotted many Terns, Kingfishers, Brahmini Kites and many more. The boat ride was soothing. The ghat looked awesome. We reached Vishnupad Temple & stayed there for an hour. The permenant Swollow bird nest was amazing. There were 100s of Swollows flying around. The place is peaceful. It was about to sunset so we came by Boat. The sunset looked stunning from the middle of River.Vishnupad Mandir is called so as it is believed to feature a 40-cm-long footprint of Lord Vishnu in a basalt rock. As the story goes, Lord Vishnu killed demon Gayasur at this place by stamping his foot on his chest. After Lord Vishnu pushed the demon under the earth with his foot, his footprint was retained in a rock.Though the origin of the temple is unknown, it is believed that Ahilya Bai Holkar, the queen of Indore, had the present octagonal shrine built in 1787.The temple is located on the banks of Falgu river and draws devotees from across the country. Within the courtyard of the complex, lie other temples dedicated to Lord Narasimha and Lord Shiva in the avatar of Phalgwisvara. These temples are significant places of Hindu worship.

A small temple few kilometers away from Shree Vittal temple is constructed inside Chandrabhaga river. There footprints on stone in the middle which is said to be of lord Krishna.

Must visit temple and it gives you great scenic view and and holy place as well.one who visit pandarapur please visit this temple.Auto gys charge 500 for 3 to 4 different temples.

Situated on the banks of the Chandrabhaga River, the Vishnupad Temple is connected to the mainland via a ramp. Its architectural design features a grand open hall structure supported by sixteen majestic pillars. These pillars depict various postures of Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu. Inside the temple, one can find different stones with depictions of Lord Vishnu's footprints in various poses, including crossed legs or standing on both feet. Interestingly, being situated in the middle of the river, the temple's footprints are partially submerged in water, with the water level rising during the monsoon season.

Pundalik Temple in Pandharpur is a monument to the devotion of his service to his parents. According to legend, Pundalik was a devoted son who served his parents with the utmost care. Once, he was visited by Lord Vishnu, who came to bless him for his service. However, Pundalik was busy attending to his parents and asked Lord Vishnu to wait outside on a brick. Vishnu was impressed by his devotion and agreed to wait. Pundalik later came out and apologized to Vishnu for making him wait. Vishnu was pleased with his humility and asked him what he wanted as a boon. Pundalik requested Vishnu to stay on the brick and bless all his devotees who came to Pandharpur. Vishnu agreed and took the form of Vitthal, standing on the brick with his hands on his hips.

It is a simple small temple of Bhakt Pundalik , to whom bhagwan Krishna visited in Vitthal form. Temple is on Chandrabhaga river bank and beautiful view of river are visible.

While visiting the main temple of Vitthal Rukmini one can visit this ancient temple located on the banks of river Chandrabagha. The temple and idol are very old and are revered by the locals. Area surrounding is not clean especially the surface is uneven with sharp stone granules . There is no chappal stand etc . Aged people should avoid , as they have climb lot of steps up / down to go the temple location in the river from main road.

Exactly on the river banks Road leading to this place is quite narrow and neatness is a question mark

A historic temple dedicated to Saint Pundalik, closely associated with Shri Vitthal. The temple has a peaceful and devotional atmosphere. Well-maintained and an important spot for pilgrims visiting Pandharpur.

Rated high because of spiritual place. Govt must focus on cleanliness around to temple. Devotees also should not litter around.

Shree Pundalik Mandir is a tranquil and spiritual place that truly touches the heart. The temple premises are very clean and well-maintained, offering a peaceful atmosphere for devotees. The architecture beautifully reflects the tradition, and the serene environment allows for calm meditation and prayer. The staff and priests are welcoming and always ready to guide with devotion. If you’re seeking a spiritual experience in a calm setting, this temple is a must-visit. Highly recommended for locals and travelers alike!

A beautiful Radha-Krishna Iskon temple is located on the banks of the Chandrabhaga river. I visited this place in the afternoon on the weekend no rush was there. It has the same vibe as all the Iskon temples but the backside is very beautiful. On the banks of Chandrabhaga dome shaped structures are built where you can sit, take photos and enjoy the view. If one wants to swim they can do that also. We got prasadam containing mix dal khichdi which was delicious.

Hare krishna! Very nice place. On the banks of chandrabhaga river it is a very calm and quiet place . Must visit. A sprawling new temple complex is coming up. The guest house is also great at a very nominal price. Only the food at the Govinda restaurant must improve. It is not up to the Govinda restaurant standard which I have had in many places. This temple is on the opposite side of the main pandharpur Temple.

Beautiful and a place to stay to get connected with self. Surrounded by nature and the divine atmosphere. You can opt for sitting at ghat in the morning or evening also. This is opposite the river bank of Pandharpur, and lord Vitthala temple can be commuted by auto.

It's very nice place, just going there road is not good but place is very calm and beautiful, Must visit when you go Pandharpur. First go there take a bath and then go to visit panduranga.

Visited ISKCON Pandharpur recently and it was a truly beautiful and peaceful experience. We reached the temple by taking a 10-minute boat ride across the Chandrabhaga river, which cost ₹100 for two people — a scenic and enjoyable way to arrive. The temple premises are currently under construction, and from the scale of it, it looks like it's going to be one of the largest and most grand ISKCON temples in the country. Even in its current phase, the space is clean, well-managed, and spiritually uplifting. We had breakfast at the food stall inside the premises — it was hygienic, tasty, and very budget-friendly. There's also a beautiful gaushala (cow shelter) that adds to the peaceful, devotional vibe of the place. We took darshan of Radha Krishna, and they looked absolutely divine and surreal. There was a katha session going on since it was Sunday, which added to the spiritual atmosphere. The devotees and volunteers were warm and welcoming. Overall, a soulful experience and a must-visit when you're in Pandharpur. I look forward to visiting again once the full construction is complete — it's going to be something truly grand!

"Blissful experience at ISKCON Temple Pandharpur! Divine vibes, stunning deities, and soulful kirtans. A haven for spiritual seekers and Krishna devotees. Perfect blend of peace, devotion, and serenity. Highly recommend for a rejuvenating spiritual experience!"

My visit to ISKCON Pandharpur was truly a soulful and serene experience. The temple is beautifully maintained, filled with divine energy, and the atmosphere instantly brings a sense of peace. The darshan was smooth and well-organized, and the prasadam was simply blissful. A special mention to TrekPanda for making my trip so seamless and memorable. Their arrangements, attention to detail, and care made the entire journey hassle-free. I highly recommend visiting ISKCON Pandharpur at least once in a lifetime, and if you’re planning your trip, TrekPanda is the perfect partner to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Best place for visiting if you visit Pandharpur.

You have to walk bare foot on dirty road in photo. There is an Exit pawati of 50/- worst place in pandharpur

So many stone/ clay statues depicting various Rishis, Saints, Bhakts painted nicely and arranged in a good order. Very large place and educative for children as well. It can easily take 1 to 1 1/2 hourto see all. The walk passages are full of high steps and narrow alleys with no exit mid way. One should not miss seeing this place.

Very nice place. Worth the visit. Unique architectural design. Here you will find statues of many saints and gods from Hindu mythology.

We went for an overnight stay and this was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had!! Right from the place to hospitality to food and of course, the wines, top Notch!!! Special mention to Ravi for making the stay so comfortable with a detailed Vineyard tour. Really impressed with the staff. Kudos!!

I had a wonderful experience at Fratelli Vineyard! The stay was truly relaxing — the rooms were clean, cozy, and well-appointed with a beautiful view of the vineyard. The food was a highlight: delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, perfectly complementing their excellent wines. The staff were warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. The location itself is stunning — peaceful, scenic, and a perfect getaway for wine lovers or anyone looking to unwind in nature. Highly recommended for a serene escape with great food and wine! A special shoutout to Mr. Ravi who attended us, for his exceptional service — he was warm, attentive, and made our visit even more memorable.

Thank you Fratelli Wines for the amazing experience! We stayed there for 2 nights and I must say the place is just wow!!! It's an experience you will never forget! A special shoutout to Ravi for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We loved everything from the beautiful stay and the yummiest food to the farm tour and the stunning Machan view. It was all just perfect!

This was my third trip to Fratelli vineyard and I must say that my experience gets better with every trip. To begin with the roads are getting better and broader and hence easier to drive. The addition of new wines are great, the new M/S range is so good. The room cleanliness and staff has greatly improved and I would give them a 10 on 10 rating for that. Special mention to Bhola who made a very sincere effort to cook as per our requirements and of course Ravi who helped with everything from wine tasting to drive to the machan and also the distillery. Overall a great trip

We visited the vineyard store to buy some wine. The collection is good with some interesting variations. They have also introduced cans for ease of use. The staff was courteous and helpful. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

What more can I say about Fratelli Wineyards that hasn't already been said by all the 5 star reviews? We had visited as a family of 7 which had 4 adults and 3 children. The experience here was unbelievably customized for us, since we were the only ones staying there apart from their consultants. They have exactly four rooms, of which two are usually occupied by the shareholders and the remaining two are open for guests. The rooms are huge, airy, immaculately maintained and modern. The washrooms are clean, spacious and well-maintained with all the necessary toiletries. Both the rooms open out into a long, flowing common garden where kids can play badminton or frisbee or whatever you bring along. Initially, the property was so tastefully developed by the shareholders for themselves that they decided to extend their experience to guests. So this includes kitchen staff ready at (only) your service, ready to make any cuisine you prefer. We had delicious Maharshtrian food once and Italian food in our next meal (they make good Italian food since one of their shareholders is Italian). Bhola, Maushi and others in the kitchen are very humble and pay attention only to you, since again, there are no other guests except you. One thing we noted, was that everyone from the front office, houskeeping, factory staff, kitchen staff, managers, etc...are all deeply attached to the owners, respect them and stand by them for the way they treat their staff and also for the social work they have done in the villages in the vicinity, such as adopting an entire village, construction of schools, making sustainable water management systems for villagers, sponsoring the education of children, buying grape produce from third party farmers at respectable prices and overall for creating sustainable employment among the local population. This respect in turn, flows down in the way the staff treats their guests. We visited their machan on the day of our arrival. We were driven there in an open-hood Tata Xenon pickup through lush green fields of sugarcane, banana and grape. We enjoyed every minute of the 45 minute off-road ride. The machan, a big hall tastefully made of cane and bamboo, is on a hilltop overseeing hundreds of acres of grape cultivation. The hilltop is tastefully landscaped too. We reached just before sunset. What followed was an experience to remember for a lifetime. The sun was setting in all its glory and we had a direct view of it setting in between distant hills. All this while while having wine, cheese, crackers, coffee and other snacks brought along by our driver. By the time the sun had almost set, we glanced over our shoulder and saw that the blood moon had already risen over the horizon at the same time on the opposite side! No lights anywhere, no noise...just a serene, peaceful and magical moment. After sunset, we went back to the hotel, enjoying the blood moon from our open-top SUV all the way. When we got back, we had a sumptuous dinner after which the kids watched an animation movie on the big-screen TV, chilling in Lazyboy chairs amd cushy sofas. We adults played a little pool nearby. The next day we were given a tour of the entire factory and operations, along with a drive in their vintage Mahindra through the grape fields. The property is very kid-friendly and has a few sports equipments on offer, a few bicycles and a quad bike ride, along with an big open lawn to play on. The experience at Fratelli is one we will never forget and will definitely come।back for, hopefully this monsoon. For the future, they have plans to tie up with Taj for a world-class tourist facility on a hilltop overseeing their grape fields. As it stands, their existing facility itself is so mesmerising and staff so magnanimous, that we are sure they be successful in their future ventures.

It was one of best outing we had in recent days. Perfect location, very well mannered staff, good food , excellent landscaping of wineyards.... fully relaxed due to weather and wine 🍷 ☺️ :) 😀

there is no hotel contact available anywhere. Whatever available seems to be wrong.

This is the exact view of the supposed location

Nice

Visited Temple on Sunday. There was rush but however darshan was done within 15 minutes. There were 2 parkings. One with 200m away from temple.Rs 50 parking fee for four wheeler. Prasad was good. Pooja thali was for Rs 60.

We recently visited Mayureshwar Ganpati Mandir at Morgaon, and honestly, it was such a peaceful and divine experience. We reached early in the morning around 5:30 AM, so luckily there was no waiting at all - we got direct darshan without any crowd. The atmosphere at that time was so calm - the sound of bells, a gentle breeze, and that early morning silence just made everything feel so spiritual. The temple is clean and beautifully maintained, and the Ganpati idol looks truly divine. There are a few shops outside for prasad & flowers but they were closed since we reached very early in the morning ... Parking space is also available, and tea stalls were open at that time, early in the morning.... If you're planning to visit, I'd definitely suggest going early morning for a peaceful and fulfilling darshan. Truly a beautiful and soul-soothing experience! 🙏✨

It was a truly wonderful devotional and spiritual experience. 🌸 Ashtavinayak is not just about visiting temples, it’s about the peace, energy, and significance each place holds. A must visit for anyone seeking both faith and a deeper connection with tradition. Highly recommended!

I visited the temple on Tuesday and had a wonderful experience. The darshan of Ganeshji was truly divine and peaceful. What made it even better was that there was no rush or crowd, which allowed me to spend some serene time in devotion and soak in the spiritual atmosphere.

One off the Ganapati temple from Shree Ashtavinayak. Its based in Morgaon, the temple has great history. Temple is built in ancient times but is still in great condition, many pilgrims visit here daily. Lot of shops nearby temple. Its well maintained.

Significance: First and most important temple in the Ashtavinayak circuit. It is believed that pilgrimage should start and end here Architecture & Ambience The temple is built in black stone with a distinctive Nagarkhana (music gallery) at the entrance. Surrounded by four gates in the shape of a peacock (hence the name Mayureshwar). The main sanctum is calm, with the idol facing north, which is rare in Ganpati temples. The idol is considered Swayambhu (self-manifested), adorned with a Nag (serpent) and a diamond in the navel. Experience Spiritual Vibe: Very serene and deeply devotional atmosphere. Crowd: Moderate on weekdays, heavy during weekends and Ganesh Chaturthi. Darshan Time: Quick on normal days (10-15 minutes), but expect queues during festivals. Cleanliness: Overall good, maintained by the trust. Facilities Parking: Available near the temple. Food: Small eateries and prasad shops nearby. Stay: Few basic lodging options around; Pune city (~65 km) has better choices. Shops: Plenty of pooja and prasad shops at the entrance. Best Time to Visit Early morning for peaceful darshan. Avoid peak festivals if you prefer less crowd.

We visited Shri Mayureshwar temple in the early evening and had a great experience. less crowd and amazing atmosphere. Darshan of Ganesh Ji was divine and peaceful.

Lord shiva temple is especially famous for new weds coming here to seek a blissful life. The turmeric powder holi is a unique tradition of this temple where all devotees offer turmeric powder to lord shiva and also pour turmeric in the air. You will have to cross hundred stairs to reach to this ancient temple but it's totally worth. The energy and vibes at the top are simply amazing.

"Jejuri Khandoba Temple is truly a divine and spiritual place. Located on a hilltop, it requires climbing around 400-450 steps, but the journey itself feels very peaceful and energizing. The view from the top is beautiful, and the temple atmosphere is filled with positivity.

I recently visited Khandoba temple at Jejuri as Khandoba is out deity and we often visit this place to take blessings , this time I went with my father and we decided to take steps to climb up the fort as kid I visited but this time it was bit difficult for my father as he is 60+ now but it took us like 30 min to climb up we took breaks to have water in between but when we reached up it was all worth it despite Sunday the number of visitors were less , we got the darshan and then we proceeded back to pune , only issue is that you will find rikshaws easily , and food availability is less like less options are there .

Newly married couples 💑 come here to seek blessings from Lord Khandoba as they begin their life journey together. Traditionally, the husband carries his wife up at least the first five steps of the temple. Turmeric powder, known as bhandara, is spread all over the temple, giving it a golden look. When devotees throw turmeric into the air as an offering to the deity, it creates a truly amazing sight.🌫️ Note: 1. After darshan, when exiting from the left side, you will notice two people sitting near the exit gate inside the temple. Be cautious—they call out to you, ask your name, and request a donation in the name of God. You’ll see ₹200–₹500 notes in front of them. It’s best to avoid engaging with them. 2. It's advisable to stay away from local pandits, as some may try to extract money from you. 3. After the darshan, you can visit the place where Shahaji Raje and Shivaji Maharaj met.

Went here on 3 Aug 2025, Beautiful temple on a mountain. Khandoba is a form of Mahadev. My visit was unplanned, felt like he called me and I went. Lovely and memorable place.

Must visit place if you are in Pune and planning to travel. We travelled from pune very early hence we did not find any crowd. You will love the place.

A truly divine and peaceful experience at Shri Khandoba Temple in Jejuri. The temple is beautifully built giving it a unique and majestic look. The atmosphere is full of positive energy, and the view from the top is breathtaking. The steps are a bit steep but worth the climb for the darshan. Must visit for anyone seeking spiritual vibes and a glimpse of Maharashtra’s rich culture.

A truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step onto the premises of Bhuleshwar Temple, you are immediately met with a sense of calm. The ancient architecture is stunning and intricate, but it is the atmosphere of serenity that truly stands out. It's a perfect place to pause, reflect, and find tranquility away from the city's hustle. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a spiritual and quiet retreat! 5/5 stars.

Bhuleshwar Temple is a truly mesmerizing place super clean, peaceful, and full of ancient charm. The architecture is stunning and unique, and though it’s often said to date back to the Pandavas’ era, its intricate stone carvings on the walls and pillars feel even more timeless. The Nandi idol at the entrance is massive and beautifully sculpted. The temple remains peaceful on weekdays, making it a great spot for those looking to enjoy quiet surroundings and soak in the spiritual vibe. The road to the temple is scenic, though note that there are no signboards from the highway, so it’s best to rely on Google Maps for directions.

You’ll find plenty of great spots to click pictures of the temple and its surroundings. Limited parking is available for both two- and four-wheelers, so try to avoid weekends when it can get crowded. Don’t miss the guava vendors near the entrance the fruit is fresh and tasty! At times, the temple also offers delicious prasad. A few security personnel are present around the premises as well, ensuring a safe experience for visitors. Overall, Bhuleshwar Temple is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates history, architecture, and peaceful getaways around Pune.

Mind blowing architecture from the past. Apparently this mandir is made during the Vijaynagar empire. Brilliant work, peaceful vibes. A good spot to take photos too. The damaged stone structures give a glimpse of the destruction during the Mughal rule. But it's still extremely beautiful . Must visit !

Bhuleshwar Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place near Pune, situated on a small hill. The ancient Hemadpanthi style architecture and carvings are amazing, especially the Ramayana & Mahabharata sculptures. The temple is clean and well maintained by ASI. Sunset view from the top is also very nice. A must-visit spiritual and historical place near Pune.

One of the best and serene temple I have ever been to.. it is like a fortress on the top of the hills. Ample Parking space for 4 wheelers and 2 wheelers too.. Awesome ancient Khajuraho style architecture of the temple. Many carvings on the stone pillars and walls too.. The main shivling is on the stilt floor and again in the underground.. There is a big Nandi which is beautifully decorated. There a secret Ganpati Idol which is only visible if you see everything with faith.. Surrounding area, valley feels awesome and windy.. perfect spot to relieve stress.. The big problem is that the person selling pooja basket for Rs. 150/- which is Ridiculous ! Temple administration and ASI should look into this ASAP. Charging Rs. 50/- is more than enough for the basket without the pedha box. There are 2 routes down the temple. One is the trekking route and other one goes down in the main village in the valley. Locals use this route when the trekking route gets full during the yatra time. Parking charges for cars is Rs. 50/-. The route to the temple is really scenic.. through winding roads, hair pin bends in the ghat. There are many petrol pumps on the road. One is near the turn before the temple after the ghat. So come without worrying about petrol.. it was surprisingly crowded on the weekday around 12 pm too.. There are no washrooms. You have to do your business in the mountains and valley route below. Little problematic for ladies. Snakes can be seen on the valley route. There is a kund below the temple near the valley route. Go explore the route if you have time after taking darshan.. Drinking water is also available in tanks near the parking and temple. Check out the pics.

Sitting over the confluence of Chamli and Karha river, in Saswad, this beautiful temple, dedicated to lord Shiva is a part of a cluster of many temples and Shrines lining up the river bank. Restoration and mending work is undergoing. One may find odd to see paint work on the old stonework. The two huge and beautiful "Deepmala " in the main temple are a sight to see.

RAMDARA TEMPLE – A HIDDEN GEM JUST OUTSIDE PUNE I reluctantly agreed to a friend’s plan to visit a temple a short drive away. It was a weekend, nothing planned, so I said yes. And I’m so glad I did. Ramdara Temple is unlike anything I expected—set in the middle of a pond, surrounded by water and greenery. Yes, really! It blew my mind that something this serene and beautiful exists so close to Pune, and yet hardly anyone talks about it. The temple itself is peaceful and vibrant, with colorfully painted idols and a walkway that lets you circle the entire structure. The reflections in the water, the calm atmosphere, and the gentle breeze make it feel like a retreat from the world. We had a great darshan, enjoyed a simple breakfast nearby, and were back home before midday. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause and smile—quiet, spiritual, and unexpectedly stunning. If you’re looking for a short escape that’s easy to reach and leaves you feeling refreshed, Ramdara Temple is absolutely worth the visit. Beautiful, isn’t it?

The temple place is very calm and peaceful and is located in a very scenic place. However the road to get here is not as great. Needs a lot of improvement. This place can be very good picnic spot for children and families. Late afternoons are pretty good to visit.

Peace of mind It's on the Solapur highway very near to the outskirts of pune. Though it is very close to the city,still it is still away from the rush and noise. From the main road it's hardly 2-3 km. With off-road ing. There we need to have some cleanliness . It's a peaceful place. Having ample parking. A little distance to walk up to the temple . The temple is in a small lake and the space is full of trees.

Worth visiting.. i have never felt this much of peace in temple when its crowded. I would suggest you should go on bike its absolutely beautiful and the views are amazing. Please wear proper dress (woman) specially coz you cannot enter in the temple with short clothes.. rest you will feel good. Nice place to spent some quality time with family and with kids in nature..

🙏 Shree Mahaganapati Temple, Ranjangaon (Ashtavinayak Kshetra) श्री महागणपती मंदिर, रांजणगाव I recently had the divine opportunity to visit Shree Mahaganapati Temple at Ranjangaon – one of the eight revered Ashtavinayak temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The temple is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva worshipped Ganesha before fighting the demon Tripurasura. The idol here is known as Mahaganapati, a powerful and majestic form of Ganesh with 10 trunks and 20 arms (though the original idol is kept hidden in the sanctum and shown only on special occasions). The temple architecture is stunning – a beautiful blend of peace, spirituality, and historic charm. The calmness and spiritual aura of the place are truly mesmerizing. It is well maintained and organized for devotees, even during weekends and holidays. The temple complex is clean, with ample space for parking, and basic amenities like toilets and drinking water.

Wear comfortable footwear (to be removed before entering the temple).

The mandir is really peaceful, and we'll culture, I'll recommend to buy VIP pass, which only costs 100/- , which will directly bow you to the entrence of ganesh idol.

It’s a famous one of the Ashta-Vinayaka (Among 8 Main Ganapati Mandir) situated at Ranjangoan. The Mandir is small but the surrounding area is specious. Lots of small temples are situated inside the Mandir itself. The Entrance is amazing. There is no rush during weekdays. But lots of waiting during weekends and Sankashti.

A highly revered temple of Ganesh. It is one of the ashtavinayak temples. It is right on main road and quite crowded. There are lot of puja item shops on way to temple. Parking space is available but due to large crowd it is usually occupied. In Temple just before entering garbhagrih there is a large gold plate which has Ganapati Atharvashirsh engraved on it.

It was an amazing experience. It is easily accessible as it is just along the highway which makes it convenient to reach. The only downside is the huge line just for hardly 1 min of darshan which is a problem for almost all the temples so can't complain about it. The atmosphere is good, you can also sit for hours in the garden area as it is peaceful and calm.

Beautiful temple and garden. Easily accessible from the main highway. Sometimes it is crowded. Its one of the Ashtvinayak temple.

One of the Ashtavinayak and nearer to Pune ... takes around 1hr drive from Wagholi. Darshan takes around an hour Max but it's worth it. Good arrangement by the temple trust. Good crowd management. Security. Food options available there are kinda limited but that's okay. Ganapati Bappa Morya

Incredible temple. Spending just ten minutes will make one feel so relaxed and refreshing. Great architectural design and nice ambience. Peaceful vibes only. It has a lake where boating facility is available. Drinking water available. Kept super clean at all times. Staff available for guidance. There's a Nana Nani park where one can sit and enjoy. Limited free street parking available. Finding a parking spot for a four wheeler can be a bit difficult.

Wagheshwar Temple in Wagholi is more than a place of worship—it's a cultural landmark blending serene spirituality with architectural beauty. Whether you're drawn by devotion, heritage, or tranquil environments, this temple offers a meaningful experience. A peaceful pond next to the temple adds to its charm, with occasional boating activities taking place there.

Amazing place and pond nearby where boating can be done. Keep in mind to wear good attire and not wear short or half clothes which are not allowed. This place is a temple not a garden please keep that in mind.

The Wagheshwar Temple in Wagholi is a wonderful place to visit. The temple's serene atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and effective crowd management system make it a great experience for devotees. I would highly recommend visiting this historic temple!

There is also a regular darshan queue behind the temple where you can go without a pass. • Photography is not allowed inside the temple. If you wish to take pictures, you must visit the temple office and get proper permission first. • There is a shoe rack facility available where you can safely keep your footwear and get a token. Overall, a wonderful and peaceful darshan experience. Just be mindful about the approach road and parking, and everything else will be absolutely blissful.

Beautiful temple, well maintained and clean. Located in a very scenic banks of kukdi river in Nighoj near Pune.

One of the Beautiful place in Lonavla. Must visit place. But you can not go near this Kune waterfalls why because it is under private property now. So we can see this from a distance at Khandala Monkey view point. The view is just Amazing. U can't get over from the view. You can find food stalls there and you can eat breakfast and lunch also.

There was nothing. Google map ended abruptly. Still we went ahead long in search of Kune Falls. There was a beautiful Jungle and some fields to watch. Locals said there is no such falls.

This was something different for me, well, Kune water falls with monsoon was a different kind of fun. try here once

Good place to visit for fun and joy. Road towards waterfall is very raw and cars with low ground clearance may get damaged due to big rocks on the raw road. There are many waterfalls you can enjoy on the way.

It's one of the beautiful waterfall near lonavala. You can see this from rajmachi point khandala. From old pune Mumbai highway

The directions on google maps is wrong and the actual entrance is 4kms ahead. The path to the falls is also really bad and can only be trekked. Do not take your cars. Would not recommend.

No proper location and way to visit June falls, we searched way around 30min but the location ended in centre road.. I suggest for 4 wheelers who planning to visit please don’t visit instead of this please visit bhusi dam No way for 4 wheelers

🌸 Shirdi Sai Baba: A Divine Beacon of Peace and Spiritual Awakening 🌸 In the sacred town of Shirdi, nestled in the heart of Maharashtra, stands a holy sanctuary — the Shirdi Sai Baba Temple — a place that transcends religion, caste, and creed. It is not just a temple made of stone and mortar; it is a living realm of divinity, compassion, and universal brotherhood. People from all walks of life, regardless of their background, are drawn here in search of peace, healing, and inner transformation. Sai Baba of Shirdi, revered as a Saint, Fakir, and Satguru, is the embodiment of love without conditions and faith without fear. His presence continues to inspire millions across the globe to lead lives rooted in truth, humility, and devotion. Baba never identified with any particular religion — he often said, "Sabka Malik Ek" — “God is One”. These simple yet profound words echo through time, reminding us that the divine resides in all beings. 🕊️ The World of Peace and Spiritual Harmony To step into the world of Sai Baba is to step into a space of deep inner stillness. His teachings were not filled with complex rituals or doctrines; rather, they focused on compassion, tolerance, patience, forgiveness, and faith. The very air of Shirdi carries a vibration of calmness and spiritual elevation, guiding the restless soul toward serenity. Baba taught us that true spirituality lies in selfless service, in helping others, in feeding the hungry, in comforting the grieving, and in uplifting the downtrodden. He saw no difference between rich and poor, Hindu and Muslim, or educated and uneducated — to him, all were children of the One Supreme Power. 🌿 Life Lessons from Sai Baba: Learning to Truly Live The timeless wisdom of Sai Baba is a guide to navigating the challenges of modern life with grace and dignity. Here are some of the most cherished lessons we can draw from his life: Shraddha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience): Baba constantly emphasized these two pillars. Have unshakeable faith in the Divine, and wait with patience; everything unfolds in its time. Love All, Serve All: He urged people to rise above ego and hatred and instead, serve humanity with love. Service to others is service to God. Forgive and Let Go: Holding on to anger or revenge only poisons the soul. Sai Baba often forgave even those who wronged him — a true lesson in humility and spiritual strength. Equality and Unity: Baba broke down all social and religious barriers. His very life was a message that we are all one, united under one Divine light. Contentment and Simplicity: He lived a humble life, teaching us to find joy not in material wealth, but in gratitude, simplicity, and inner contentment. --- 🙏 A Personal Journey with Baba For many devotees, Baba is more than a saint — he is a companion, guide, healer, and divine protector. Whether you're facing illness, emotional turmoil, or spiritual confusion, turning to Baba with a sincere heart brings light into the darkest moments. His presence is not bound by time or space. You may feel it in the stillness of a prayer, the kindness of a stranger, or the silent answers that come in meditation. Baba listens to every heart that calls him, and his grace flows silently yet powerfully. --- 🛕 In Closing: A Temple in the Heart While the Shirdi temple is a sacred pilgrimage for millions, the true temple of Baba is the human heart. When we live by his teachings — of love, service, and truth — we carry his spirit with us wherever we go. In doing so, we become channels of the very peace and light that Sai Baba offered to the world. May Sai Baba bless you and your loved ones with health, harmony, guidance, and unwavering faith. May his light shine on your path and lead you to the divine peace that resides within. 🕉️ Om Sai Ram! 🕉️

Shirdi Sai Baba Temple is a peaceful and divine place to visit. Near Gate 6, you’ll find mobile lockers available for just Rs 5 per phone, along with free shoe stands. For free darshan, head to Gate 7, which you can reach from Dwarkamai Temple, if Dwarkamai is in front of you, go left and take the first right. You’ll pass the mobile lockers first, and then Gate 7 is right there. On weekends, the wait time for free darshan is usually around 3 hours, and the entire process can take 3-4 hours. We also visited once on a Monday morning around 6 AM, and it only took about 1.5 to 2 hours for the complete Darshan. If you prefer paid darshan, you can either book online in advance or book near temple, enter through Gate 6 when you arrive. Wait time is much lesser than free Darshan but it'll still take almost 2 if crowded. Inside the temple, there is usually some waiting time before darshan, so visitors are asked to sit in waiting halls. Opposite these halls, there’s a counter where you can get free unlimited tea and biscuits. They also sell chips and water at prices much lower than market rate. After darshan, don’t forget to pick up your free food coupons next to the neem tree. Near the exit, you will also receive packets of prasad and vibhooti. Additionally, there’s a laddu counter near the lendi garden entry, opposite the neem tree, where you can get the famous Shirdi laddu.
