Great place to visit but it's a little crowded on the weekends so chances of seeing wildlife are less on weekends. You can see radhanagari backwaters and the view is just amazing.You should plan to visit around morning time so that some of the animals could be seen. Don't go in afternoon you will hardly see any animal. Nandanvandg Home stay seems to be great location for staying near Dajipur wildlife Sanctuary (Radhanagri).

Dajipur is very nice place for jungle safari. You can see गवा (big bull), the huge animal. Scenic beauty, stay in tents is lovely n wonderful experience. You can see many other wild animals, birds etc in this wildlife sanctuary.

Sudheer V — Google review
A dense forest reserved for bisons. This place opens at 6 am in the morning. The best time to start the safari is 6 am to 10 am as animals come to drink water so we can see them easily. There are shekarus in the forest which is state animal of maharashtra. We went in may still there were lush green trees. We took a jeep for 10 people which costed us ₹2000 and each persons ticket was ₹ 50 Must visit once. This forest is well resereved. There are towers on the main site points which are good photogenic and view from there is amazing. The guids are nice. they try their best so that we can see the animals. Even if we dont see any animal the road journey in the jungle is worth it. It is a 4 to 5 hrs journy so bring your own water bottle, caps, goggles, some snacks etc.

Beautiful Place and relaxing. Road connectivity is good. Maharaj Cave is really best place for worship. Staff is so helpful. Photo's are not allowed in some corners but it's acceptable. If you want to visit with government transport then you have to walk for 3 km from Bu stop. Temple complex full with artworks. You can even take a room here to spend night if you're getting late.

It is a very beautiful, peaceful, and unforgettable place. It is the ashram of Shri Chaitanya Gagangiri Maharaj❤️. It is not a tourist spot but a sacred place, and everyone should be mindful of this while visiting and taking darshan.
Diksha S — Google review
Unbelievable experience, This place is situated at top where one need to take atleast 150 stairs, surrounded with clouds, heavy rain and electrifying atmosphere. Parking is available, but few cars can be parked, Prasad is available on daily basis for devotees, lord mahadev, vitthal madir is also available, darga is available at the top. Extremely windy, and classic view.

We visited here on Saturday. It was a little crowded because of the weekend. Worth the visit, very pleasant atmosphere. They serve prasad ( dal, rice and sweet) after Pooja and aarti in the afternoon. There are many things to visit like Gagangiri Maharaj Math, Dhuni mandir, Mahadev mandir. Kanif nath samadhi. Keep enough time in hand to visit all places as they are not close to each other.

Wonderful place especially during mansoon season. Holy place for lord Shiva. Very devotional temple. There is huge crowd during shravan month.there are multiple waterfalls in this sahyadri mountain ranges

There are 520 steps to climb to reach the cave temple. There a huge parking lot at the base of the steps. And a clean ladies & gents washroom near the entry gate. Lots of food & flower stalls all the way to the top. The Marleshwar waterfall clearly visible from the temple gallery. Temple closes by 7:30pm after which it gets very dark.

An divine place of lord shiva🐚🕉️ Must visit this temple in Shravan month as lots of devotees comes here. You will need to trek through steps. It’s an svayambhu shiv mandir inside an stone cave with only one entrance from which you will enter by bending. There is no light source inside cave only deep-jyoti makes light up this holy place. There are eternal vibes inside. Outside temple there’s big waterfall and multiple small water flows you can see. Be aware of monkeys.
Chaitanya M — Google review
I love this temple! Especially when you visit it during rainy season. The view with the waterfalls is breathtaking ! Inside the temple, there are no lights, its just the light of the lamps and the fragrance of the incense sticks which creates a serene atmosphere. Words fall short to describe it. You have to walk good amount of flight of stairs to reach to the top where the temple is. I visited the temple with my parents and siblings on a Monday morning but it wasn’t the month of Shravan so were lucky to skip the queue. Careful of the landslides and slippery surface/floor inside the temple!

Shri Marleshwar Mahadev Mandir & Waterfall We visited Marleshwar Temple with our school friends during the monsoon, and it was truly one of the best experiences! The temple is located inside a natural cave, with oil lamps lighting up the sanctum, giving a very peaceful and divine atmosphere. Right in front of the temple flows the Marleshwar/Dhareshwar Waterfall – during the rains, it looks absolutely breathtaking. The surrounding green hills, mist, and the roar of the waterfall create an unforgettable moment. According to local history, the temple was established by Lord Parshuram and the Shivling here is self-manifested. There are also beliefs about cobras once residing in the cave, protecting the temple, and they are considered auspicious. ✨ What makes this place special is the perfect mix of **spiritual vibes and natural beauty**. The monsoon is the best time to visit, but the waterfall flows all year round, which is quite unique. ✔️ The climb has around 300–500 steps, but there are small stalls on the way for refreshments. ✔️ Be careful during monsoon as the steps can be slippery. ✔️ Please help in keeping the temple surroundings clean.
Viresh S — Google review
Marleshwar Temple is a beautiful spiritual spot surrounded by greenery and waterfalls, especially stunning in the monsoon. The cave temple of Lord Shiva gives a peaceful vibe. However, the long steps, limited facilities, and lack of cleanliness can be inconvenient. Best for those who love nature, spirituality, and adventure. MUST VISIT PLACE.✨✨✨✨✨✨
Shiv S — Google review
🌿 Marleshwar Temple – A Serene Cave Shrine Amidst the Sahyadris Nestled deep in the lush Sahyadri mountain ranges near Maral village, Marleshwar Temple is a hidden gem that beautifully combines spirituality with nature’s grandeur. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple is set inside a natural cave, giving it a mystical and peaceful atmosphere. ✨ The Journey & Approach From Ratnagiri (about 65 km away), the drive winds through scenic ghats, dense greenery, and small Konkan villages. The last stretch involves climbing roughly 500–520 stone steps, so be prepared for a bit of a workout — but the views along the way make it worth it. 🏞 Surroundings & Highlights The temple is surrounded by countless small waterfalls during monsoon, earning the area the nickname “village of 100 waterfalls.” Just beside the temple flows the Dhareshwar Waterfall, which is especially breathtaking in the rainy season. The sound of cascading water blends with temple bells and chants, creating a truly meditative vibe. Inside the cave, the Shivling is simple yet powerful in its presence, with a constant trickle of water adding to the sacred feel. 🛕 Experience The cave is cool and dimly lit, with natural rock formations adding to its charm. The echo of prayers inside feels timeless. It’s less commercialized than many other shrines, so you can actually sit quietly and soak in the atmosphere. 🍲 Food & Local Touches A few small eateries in Maral village serve fresh vegetarian meals — simple but delicious. On the way, you can buy Kokum products, jackfruit chips, and other Konkan specialties at reasonable prices.

- Temple of lord shiva - We need to climb a lot of stairs to reach the temple (totally worth it) - There's an entry fee (minimal) - So many monkeys around - So many small waterfalls around in monsoon - It's clean and green. - weather is perfect - we can't take phones and torch inside the main temple - it's carved in a rock (similar to cave) - View is stunning of waterfall Har Har Mahadev 📿

Revered as one of the Shakti Peethas or Dakshin Kashi, this temple holds immense spiritual significance for devotees seeking liberation from desires or fulfillment of their wishes.
Beautiful and divine temple with rich history. The idol of Ambabai is mesmerizing and the atmosphere inside is very peaceful. Well-maintained and clean. Gets very crowded on weekends and festivals, so early morning darshan is best. Parking can be difficult near the temple. Overall, a must-visit spiritual place in Kolhapur.

-Get down at main entrance, we mistakenly had dropped down backside gate. -Senior citizens are allowed to sit in the entrance if any large queue was there. -Inside temple, womens are separately in queues to have Darshan as its Mahalaxmi Temple. -Drinking water facility available when you come out of Darshan. -Several shops available inside for shopping devotional items. -Peda Prasad nearby exit of Darshan is the cheap and best which was sold by local guys. -Also, Laddu Prasad sold by Temple committee. -Best part is free Bhojanalaya as like in Shirdi was available and taste was very good. (Variety Rice, sabhji, butter milk, sweet.) -Timing 12PM to 3PM -This is located in backside of temple which is of 50m distance from temple. -Free Tokens are given in main entrance and backside gate. -Volunteers/Members inside Bhojanalaya strictly instructs all devotees to not waste food. One should complete his/her food and allowed to get up for handwash. - Plates for children were asked there parents before giving in order avoid wastage of food. - But this Bhojanalaya is present in 1st floor, which is a very big minus point for those where not able to step up. - Footwears are to be kept outside Bhojanalaya.

Beautiful and very very old temple. Powerful vibes can be experienced. Crowded throughout the day. We had gone in the afternoon and early morning and both times the temple was crowded. We were blessed to have a security officer help us out of the blue as my mom couldnt stand and wait in the queue for long hours. Once inside you can feel the essence of an old temple and the idol is so so mesmerising! Truly blessed to have got a chance to visit the divine Mahalaxmi!

"The Mahalakshmi Ambabai Temple is one of the three and a half Shakti Peethas. 🛕 We reached the temple at 5:00 AM, and the early morning time, the pleasant atmosphere, and witnessing the goddess's worship and aarti made our hearts feel completely serene. 😊🌸 There is very little crowd at the temple in the morning, and this is when you get the good fortune of witnessing the goddess's worship and aarti. ☺️ Therefore, you should definitely visit the temple during the morning hours. 😊"

Colonial Legacy: A British-era hanging bridge, measuring 210 meters in length, adds to the allure of the location. This architectural marvel provides visitors with a panoramic view of the cascading waterfalls and the surrounding greenery. 3. Unique Features: The falls are distinct because of their horseshoe-shaped edge and reddish-brown rocks, which make the cascading water even more visually striking. During the monsoon season (July to October), the river swells, offering a dramatic and awe-inspiring spectacle. 4. Hydroelectric Power Station: Gokak Falls also holds the distinction of being home to one of the earliest hydroelectric power stations in India, established in 1907, which once supplied electricity to the nearby textile mills. 5. Nearby Attractions: • Mahalingeshwara Temple: A centuries-old temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located near the falls. • Godachinmalki Falls: Another stunning waterfall located a short distance from Gokak. • Gokak Town: Known for its textiles and traditional Gokak sweets, the town offers a charming detour for visitors. Travel Tips • Best Time to Visit: Monsoon and post-monsoon seasons (July to October) for the fullest flow of the waterfalls. • Accessibility: The falls are about 70 km from Belagavi and 40 km from Dharwad, easily reachable by road. • Activities: Photography, nature walks, and temple visits are popular here. Swimming is not recommended due to strong currents. With its stunning natural beauty and cultural significance, Gokak Waterfalls is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Thoseghar Waterfall is a picturesque and secluded destination, offering stunning vistas of cascading waterfalls and rolling hills. The tranquil setting provides ample opportunities for picnicking and enjoying the soothing breezes that surround the area. Visitors are encouraged to keep the environment clean and avoid littering plastic bottles. The best season to visit is during monsoon when two waterfalls, Big and Small, showcase their awesomeness.
Thoseghar Waterfall is a real treat for the eyes! The breathtaking views of the waterfall and surrounding valleys are simply stunning. A must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers. The scenic beauty is awe-inspiring and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended!"

Excellent place to visit. Good waterfall in Sahyadri range near Satara. Walkways and stairs are well developed so you can have good views of waterfall. Entry fee is Rs 50 per person. If you want to see both falls you have to trek little more. Old age people who has difficulty in walking should avoid. Two water falls big and small. Big water fall can be seen from specially made overview platform. It's in valley and in rainy season you will enjoy this waterfall. Small water fall is from less height and you can go near falls. Cave behind waterfall is amazing. Enjoyed visit very much. Highly recommended during rainy season.

Satara Thoseghar Waterfall is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Satara and an absolute must-visit place for nature lovers. Surrounded by dense greenery and countless trees, the area offers a breathtaking view of both big and small waterfalls cascading beautifully down the cliffs. The sound of the flowing water combined with the peaceful forest atmosphere makes it a truly refreshing experience. The main viewpoint gives a clear sight of the tall, majestic waterfall, which looks even more stunning during or right after the monsoon. The smaller waterfall area is also very scenic, and they even offer professional photography near the water at an extra charge of ₹2000 — a nice option if you want memorable pictures. Entry tickets cost ₹50 per person, and it’s definitely worth every rupee for the view and experience you get. The place is generally well-maintained, but visitors should be cautious about monkeys, especially while walking toward the big waterfall. These monkeys can be aggressive and may try to snatch food or bags, so carrying a stick for safety is advisable. Overall, Thoseghar Waterfall is a peaceful yet adventurous destination that offers stunning scenery, fresh air, and a close connection with nature. When in Satara, this place is not to be missed — especially if combined with a visit to the nearby Chalkewadi Windmills for a perfect day trip.

The Thoseghar Waterfall near Satara, Maharashtra, is known for its beautiful series of cascades, and visitor reviews frequently praise its scenic charm. The site is noted for being well-maintained and offering a less-crowded experience, especially if you visit during the week or early in the morning. A well-managed and tranquil experience What sets Thoseghar apart is its ability to offer a peaceful communion with nature, a stark contrast to more heavily commercialized destinations. The management of the site is a significant reason for this. Orderly infrastructure: The site features well-constructed pathways and steps, which are safe and easy to navigate. An observation gallery with protective railings has been set up to prevent accidents and give visitors an excellent view of the main falls. Controlled access: There is a nominal entry fee that contributes to the site's upkeep, and access is managed by forest officials at the gate. This helps control the number of people on-site at any given time. Viewing areas: Separate viewpoints are designated for the main and smaller waterfalls, providing a clear and safe way to enjoy both spectacular sights. This reduces crowding in any single spot and enhances the overall visitor experience.
Piyush J — Google review
Thoseghar Waterfall in Maharashtra’s Satara district is a natural wonder made up of two major waterfalls, locally known as chota dabdaba and motha dabdaba (meaning small and large waterfalls, respectively). The pathway to the chota dabdaba is quite long and has several ups and downs, but the view is absolutely worth it. Entry to this waterfall is restricted as the water flows with great force, making it risky for visitors. The paths are not well maintained and can get slippery due to the mist and splashes from the falls. There’s a viewing deck for the motha dabdaba, from where you can soak in the breathtaking view. The site is maintained by the Satara Forest Department. Parking space and washrooms are available, though the washroom wasn’t lit during the evening hours, which can be unsafe. Recommendations: - Wear good-quality sports or trekking shoes - Elderly visitors should avoid the steeper paths - Carry a water bottle if needed - Walk carefully; avoid rushing or running - Don’t litter - Don’t pluck flowers or disturb the natural surroundings

Visiting Kopeshwar Temple was an absolutely mesmerizing experience. The temple is not only an architectural marvel but also a living testimony of India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. The intricate carvings, unique circular design, and the way the temple blends both Shaivite and Vaishnavite traditions left me truly awe-struck. Every pillar, every sculpture tells a story, making it feel like you’re walking through history. A very special mention to our guide, Aappa, whose knowledge and storytelling brought the temple to life. He explained the legends, historical significance, and hidden details in such a captivating way that it made the entire visit unforgettable. His passion and respect for the temple truly enhanced the experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend visiting this hidden gem, and if possible, take the tour with Aappa – he will make sure you don’t just see the temple, but truly experience its soul. 🙏

You cannot understand and enjoy this magnificent temple without a proper guide. Our guide Mr.Appu created that aura of the temple with his beautiful narration. Though it's a small temple..I would say one day is also very less to study n observe beauty of each pillars and stories of the each beautifully carved art. Only shocking observation is why Govt or Archeology society is not taking care and beautifying. These are just one of few left over beautiful art pieces by our ancestors , if we don't preserve this for our future generations..it will also go very soon. We need to give importance to glorify our History, keeping politics away. If you are in kolhapur , you must visit this temple, (it's 1 hr 45 minutes away from kolhapur.)( Driving through the sugarcane fields is another unforgettable moment)

Ganapati Temple is regarded as the most beautiful temple in south Maharashtra. It is situated on the banks of river Krishna at Sangli. Thorle (elder) Chintamanrao Patwardhan consecrated the idol in 1843. The temple has been artistically built with black stone brought from Jyotibha hills. There is a platform, a hall and a 'Nagarkhana' inside the vast two acres complex of the temple. The entrance door has been carved out of different coloured natural wood. The idol of the Lord Ganapati is made of copper. The idol has been kept in a way that it is visible from any part of Ganapati Peth. It looks so beautiful when the silvery rays of evening sun brighten the face of the Ganapati idol. Ganapati festival is celebrated with great religious fervour for five days from Bhadrapad Shuddha Chaturthi. Sangli is well connected by air, train and road. Dharamshalas and small budgeted hotels at Sangli are available for accommodation.

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!

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

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.

Jagadambe 🙇🏻 I recently visited Tuljapur, and it was a truly spiritual and peaceful experience. The famous Tulja Bhavani Temple is very divine, and the atmosphere is filled with positive energy. The temple premises are well maintained, and the darshan arrangements were smooth. Local people are very helpful and welcoming, which made my trip even more pleasant. The town has good facilities for devotees like lodging, food, and shops. 🌿 About the Place & Vibes: The temple’s architecture and spiritual vibrations are mesmerizing. Visiting here gives a deep sense of peace and devotion. The surroundings are clean and lively with devotional chants everywhere. Overall The place is wonderful, but during peak times it gets very crowded. Proper planning of the visit makes the experience even better.

Shree Tulja Bhavani Mandir in Tuljapur is a divine and historical temple dedicated to Goddess Bhavani, the family deity of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The temple’s architecture is ancient yet well maintained, reflecting rich Maratha heritage and devotion. The stone carvings, spiritual aura, and the holy atmosphere inside the sanctum bring immense peace. The management keeps the temple premises clean and organized despite the crowd. Visiting here feels deeply spiritual and historically inspiring, especially knowing that Shivaji Maharaj worshipped Goddess Bhavani here for strength and blessings. A must-visit sacred destination for devotees and history lovers alike.

Jai Bhavani 🚩 Divine goddess place, thousands of people visit on a daily basis. Parking is somewhat far away from the temple. This place has a very respectful history and its legacy needs to be admired, but the place is always dirty and garbage is lying around, this is mainly because of the uncivilised people visiting this place and this needs to be changed.

Shri Nageshwar Jyotirling Aundha Nagnath

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
One of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Shiva in india. There's q dispute between marathis and Gujarati samaj as they consider Nageshwar jyotirlinga as the correct jyotirlinga whereas marathi people have their devotion here. It's a task to have the darshan and would recommend to avoid during savan and mahashivratri days due to long queue upto 6 hrs. We paid 200 rupees per person and still ended up standing 3 hrs in line because of the temple build .

I love this spiritual place. A very beautiful temple has been built and you can do puja abhishek inside by taking water yourself. There some priests will ask you for water abhishek and ask for money, please stay away from such people. Otherwise it is a very good place.

Aundha Nagnath situated in Hingoli district is revered by some to be the actual Nageshwar jyotirling in conflict with the one near Dwarka, Gujarat and the one in Darukawan, Jharkhand. One can come here from Nanded, Hingoli, or Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. It is a beautiful temple of Lord Shiva. It has marvelous carvings all over its walls and has its top rebuilt with white marble. The wait was quite long, even though we took special Darshan which costs 200/-. It took an hour and half for us to get there. The Garbhabriha is situated underground and one to go in through a narrow set of steep steps with the help of a rope, and come back out through the same. Overall, it is a very spiritual place.

Shri Nageshwar Jyotirling at Aundha Nagnath (Hingoli district, Maharashtra) is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and holds immense spiritual, historical, and cultural significance. Here’s a summary of the experience people usually have when visiting: 🛕 Temple & Atmosphere The temple is very ancient (believed to be around 3000 years old) and has connections to the Mahabharata era. The architecture is Hemadpanthi style – huge stone walls, carved pillars, and a deeply spiritual ambience. The sanctum is underground (Garbhagriha), which adds to the mystic and divine feeling. The shivling is said to be self-manifested (Swayambhu). 🙏 Spiritual Experience Many devotees describe a powerful, peaceful vibration inside the temple. Performing Abhishek (ritual bathing of Shivling) with milk, water, or Bel leaves is considered very auspicious. Daily aartis (especially early morning and evening) are soulful and deeply devotional. 📖 Mythological Importance It is believed that Pandavas built parts of this temple during their exile. According to legends, Lord Shiva himself resides here as Nagnath (the Lord of Serpents). Saint Namdev, a great saint of the Bhakti movement, attained divine blessings here. 🌿 Surroundings & Pilgrimage Feel The temple is located in a calm, rural setting with spiritual vibrations. The area around the temple has small shops selling flowers, Bel patra, rudraksha beads, and Prasad. During Shravan month and Maha Shivratri, the temple sees lakhs of devotees, creating a grand festive atmosphere. 🚩 Pilgrim Tips Early morning visit gives the most peaceful darshan. Footwear is not allowed inside premises – better to keep them in designated stands. Carry a water bottle, as queues can get long during peak season. Local food (prasad bhojan) is simple and sattvik. ✨ Overall, devotees describe their visit to Aundha Nagnath as a soul-stirring and divine journey—a blend of history, spirituality, and serenity.

Divine experience at Aundha Nagnath Jyotirlinga 🙏🕉️ My visit to Shri Nageshwar Jyotirlinga at Aundha Nagnath was truly spiritual and peaceful. As one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the temple holds powerful energy and deep devotion. The moment I stepped inside, I felt a strong spiritual connection and calmness in my heart 😇. The temple architecture is ancient and beautiful, full of carvings and history. The atmosphere is full of positive vibes, and darshan of Lord Shiva was a blessed moment for me 🙌🚩. A must-visit place for every Shiv bhakt. This place gave me peace, faith, and memories I’ll always carry with me ❤️ Har Har Mahadev! 🔱

This one of the Jyotirlinga not amount the 12 but apart from them there are many others. It is a 6 hr drive from Hyderabad but since we stayed in Nanded it was just couple of hours. Visited ona Monday and that too Sawan Somwar. The rush was minimal and we were able to come out in couple of hours with proper darshan. The feeling to see ShivSambhu is amazing.
Bikash S — Google review
Though not listed in the actual Jyotirlinga list, locals believe that this temple is one of the 12 jyotirlingas. The deity is in the basement of the inner sanctum of the temple and the devotees need to bend and pass down to have the darshan of the Lord Shiva. The temple has beautiful carvings on the walls and pillars. One of the very ancient temples and kudos to the architects who sculptured the temple.

⸻ A sacred Jyotirlinga with deep historical and spiritual roots. Aundha Nagnath Temple, located in Hingoli district, Maharashtra, is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and is believed to be the first among them. According to legend, it was originally built by the Pandavas during their exile, making it a site of immense mythological significance. The temple showcases stunning Hemadpanthi architecture with intricate stone carvings and a deeply spiritual ambiance. Sadly, it was partially destroyed during the Mughal invasions. However, it was later restored with great devotion by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, who is known for reconstructing many sacred Hindu temples across India. Situated amidst serene surroundings, the temple draws pilgrims and history enthusiasts alike. A visit here not only offers spiritual peace but also a glimpse into centuries of rich cultural and religious heritage. Truly a must-visit for anyone exploring the sacred Jyotirlinga circuit.

What a calm and blissful place. What I found a bit odd, is the fact that even in this scorching hot summer, temperatures of about 40+, they don’t allow shorts (even above knee length). The langar hall is humongous! Parking might be a challenging during daytime and specially at peak times. The cleanliness and upkeep of the place is amazing.

One of the most peaceful and spiritually uplifting places I’ve ever visited. The Gurudwara's architecture is absolutely stunning – from its shining white marble to the golden domes and intricate carvings, every detail reflects devotion and grace. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and calm, perfect for meditation and prayer. The entire premises are very well-maintained – clean, organized, and serene. The langar service is humble and heartwarming, offering food to all with love and equality. A truly sacred place where spirituality meets stunning architecture. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and blessings. Satnam Waheguru 🙏

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was a beacon of equality, justice, and compassion. His teachings emphasized respect for all human beings, regardless of religion, caste, or gender. The behavior I witnessed at the Gurudwara stands in stark contrast to his principles. Acting with such partiality and rudeness is disrespectful to his legacy and diminishes the very values he lived and taught. The Gurudwara in Nanded is truly beautiful inside, but based on my experience, the staff and some people around were extremely partial and rude towards non-Sikh visitors. I visited of my own choice; no one forced me to go. Yet, once inside, it is unacceptable for non-Sikh visitors to be ignored, dominated, or treated rudely simply because of their religion. At a place of God, there should be no partiality, and everyone should be treated with respect. My intention was only to offer my gratitude to God, but the rudeness and disregard shown toward non-Sikh visitors was deeply disappointing. In summary, while the Gurudwara is magnificent, I sincerely request that all visitors, regardless of religion, be treated with equal respect.

Sri Gnana Saraswathi Devasthanam

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Riverfront temple of the Goddess Saraswati, Hindu goddess of knowledge & learning.
The main deity of the temple is godess Saraswati the godess of knowledge and learning. Parents with their young kids visit the temple and perform a very special kind of Pooja called "Aksharabhyas" which means the initiation of formal schooling. In Hindu Sanskriti, it is also known as Vidyarambh Sanskara, one among sixteen Sanskaras of human life. Today it was Tuesday and there were a few pilgrims at the temple. So we had a great Darshan and enjoyed peaceful spiritual moments in the Presence of the Goddess. There are ample staying facilities run by the temple authority also there are enough hotels, guest houses and Dharmashalas surrounding the temple. The river Godavari flows just 2 km away. Overall a great pilgrim experience. Five Stars.

Happen to visit this temple recently.. It's one of the most famous pilgrimage places in South India. This temple is an abode of goddess Sarswati (The goddess of education). This temple is usually floated with devotees who bring their kids for Akshara Abhyasam ( A ceremony to seek blessings before they step into the school). Very powerful diety.

It is the only temple in the world where the custom of having children's initials written for their education is practiced. Traditional Indian families from all over the world come here to have their children learn to read and write. Similarly, those who have lost their mental peace and are disappointed in life come here to undergo mantra initiation in the meditation hall. Here, mantra initiation and accommodation are provided free of cost to the initiates. There are many who have completed the 41 days of meditation as per the rules of the fast and have started their life again with new energy and enthusiasm.

Travelled from. Karimnagar to basara temple to take blessings from Saraswati devi. Almost 180 km from thr karimnagar. Saraswati devi is here to bless all for their education. Aksharabhyasam is done here for the é 1kids those who will start schooling. There are separate pooja done here. 1000/- and 150/- are the prices. 1000/- pooja is done on Gharba Gudi in thr temple. If you want to do Aksharabhyasam in 1000/- better to bring fruits, kumkum and rice by your own. All these items are costly here. They take pictures of the pooja and sell them to you at thr cost of 100/- per print which is costly. The temple officials should look into the matter. There is a Godavari ghar is also there to visit.

The place was so peaceful, and you’ll instantly get all those devotional vibes once you arrive. The surroundings are exceptionally clean, and the people maintain great hygiene. We visited the temple on 5th July 2025, and as there was no crowd, we opted for the free darshan. Outside the temple, you can find many food stalls, perfect for lunch or dinner. I also recommend visiting "Vedavathi Shila," which is nearby. It’s a large rock that produces a metallic or musical sound when struck with a small stone—quite a unique experience! Additionally, the serene Godavari River is close to the temple and worth exploring.

renuka mata is the brother of god prasuram who is sixth avatar of lord vishnu…. she has sifferent names like ekavira, yellamma etc. the temple is on the hill and it can be reached by steps … there are around 250 steps… there is no ropeway … elders and handicapped can reach the temple through dholias but is very costly which is around 1200 rupees for one side… all along the steps there are shops … no special darshan passes…. there is no parking for the temple … there are many private parking places just near the entrabce to the steps which costs around 500 rupees as you have to buy the goods worth 500 from them… to avoid such parking we can park for free all along the hill but during holidays and festival days the parking along the hill is very long ao you have to walk long… mahur is well connected from telangana and maharastra like adilabad etc

Renuka Mata Temple at Mahurgad highlight its significance as a major Shakti Peeth, praised for its picturesque hilltop location, spiritual atmosphere, and the challenge of reaching it via numerous steps. Visitors often mention the surrounding natural beauty and the presence of Parashuram and Dattatreya shrines nearby, while some describe it as a site of ancient architecture with a rich historical and mythological background. Key aspects of the temple and the experience: Spiritual Significance: It is considered one of the important Shakti Peethas in Maharashtra, where Goddess Renuka's head is believed to have fallen. Location & Access: The temple is situated on a hill, requiring climbing around 200-250 steps to reach it, surrounded by natural beauty and caves. Nearby Attractions: The vicinity of the temple includes shrines dedicated to Lord Parashuram and Lord Dattatreya. Historical & Architectural Value: The temple is noted for its ancient architecture, possibly dating back to the Kadamba period, and the broader Mahur area has a historical connection to the Mahurgad fort.

Overall Sentiment: The reviews generally portray the Renuka Mata Temple as a deeply significant and beautiful religious site, attracting pilgrims for its spiritual aura and natural setting. The effort required to reach the temple is often seen as part of the pilgrimage experience
Saurav B — Google review
The temple is considered a revered shrine of the Shaktism sect, both due to the aforementioned mythology and because it is recognized as a Shakta Pitha. According to legend, Renuka Mata (the wife of Sage Jamadagni) was decapitated by her own son, Parashurama. It is believed that her head fell at this location. Later, Sage Jamadagni granted Parashurama a boon through which Renuka was given rebirth. This temple is also associated with the mythology of the Daksha Yaga and Sati's self-immolation, further solidifying its status as a Shakta Pitha. Shakta Pithas are sacred shrines dedicated to Durga or Adi Parashakti, believed to be imbued with the divine presence of Shakti due to the falling of Sati Devi’s body parts as Lord Shiva carried her corpse and wandered in grief. There are traditionally 51 Shakta Pithas, corresponding to the 51 Sanskrit alphabets. The Shakti of Mahur is worshipped as Renuka Devi. Most Shakta Pithas also feature an associated shrine to Kalabhairava.

It is one of the 52 shaktipeeth where body part of Sati fell. It is also considered one of the 3.5 shaktipeeth of Maharashtra. It is a very famous temple and has huge following not only in Maharashtra but also in nearby states. It is always croyand there are no special darshan ticket. One has to get through ordinary line only. It is better to keep a water bottle with you in line as it moves slowly and it gets quite uncomfortable during noon hours and in hot seasons. Temple is on a hill. One has to climb at least 300 steps to reach temple. The parking can be done on road or there are shops on the road with adjacent garages. They allow to keep car but you have to buy puja items from them at exorbitant rate. There are puja items shops all along the stairway to temple. But flowers are available only at foothills vendors and shops. Ma vigrah is of large face with prominent nose. The vigrah is coated with vermillion. If you book 6 purnima abhishek then you get a sari as prasad from temple office. Temple is open full day. There is no food facilities on top of hill. Snacks and meals are available at foothill shops. Drinking water is available on top. Renuka mata is mother of Parshuram. There is also a Parshuram temple whose stairway goes from backside of this temple. Temple has other shrines of Bhairav, Jamadagni, Lakshmi, Bhavani etc.
Vishal S — Google review
Parking: There’s no official or well-managed parking area near the temple. During rush hours or festivals, finding a safe parking spot can be difficult. Darshan Queue: During weekends, holidays, or Navratri, the waiting time for darshan can easily stretch to 1–2 hours. It’s better to visit early in the morning to avoid long queues. Monkeys: There are many monkeys around the temple premises — please be cautious with food items, bags, and mobile phones. Overall, a must-visit spiritual destination for devotees of Renuka Mata, offering both faith and scenic beauty. A little better management and cleanliness would make the experience even more pleasant. 🙏

The park has walking trails, sitting areas, and a relaxing atmosphere perfect for nature lovers. It’s well-maintained, and the fresh air makes it a great spot to unwind from the city noise. There’s also a small play area for kids. Visit during early morning or evening for the best experience. A peaceful and refreshing place to connect with nature—highly recommended for a weekend visit! It's also has cactus garden where differnt kin Little disappointed they charged 250 rupees cameras

One of the prominent wildlife sanctuary nearby nagpur and wardha. Due Bor dam most of visitors come here. This place is between nagpur and wardha district, and accessible within 2 hours most of visitors avoid stay here. If you choose to stay, both MTDC and forest Dept have resorts along with some private resorts. Variety of animals like tiger, leopard, indian Bear, wild Bor can be sited here. Also, this place is famous for some rare birds, good place for birdwatchers to visit.

A very few tigers and other animals. Dam water smells very bad odour. Charges for half hour safari around Rs.2400 for four persons in gypsy. Private vehicles not allowed. Only thing positive I feel is resort beside dam.

So, it's good. But to make it easier to understand, I'll break my review down into pros and cons. Pro's 1) It's good & Huge 2) The beach and wave pool are fantastic. It gives the impression of being on a man-made beach. 3) New slides with some limitations will be discussed in the cons section. 4) The amusement park provided an enjoyable experience, despite the recent painting of the Giant Wheel and the presence of numerous rides. Cons 1) It is concerning that the water quality is not being adequately maintained, as my family and I have experienced severe itching issues that we have not encountered at other water parks. 2) The wave pool and rain dance combination is an interesting concept, however, the wave are like super weak. 3) New slides are good but only for ladies & Kids, and men are not permitted to use them 4) The cleanliness of the water in the adult slide area was a cause for concern, as it appeared to be rather unhygienic. Considering the significant cost of approximately ₹1300 per person, it is essential that the water quality and overall maintenance of the park meet the expected standards. Failure to do so diminishes the value and enjoyment of the experience for visitors.

Visited Fun N Food Village, Nagpur recently. The best part of the visit was definitely the amusement park – the rides were fun and well-maintained. The water park was also enjoyable and a good place to relax with friends and family. However, the major letdown was the food - both breakfast and lunch were very poor in taste and quality. If they improve the food, it would make the experience much better overall.

My experience at Fun and Food Village, Nagpur was very disappointing. The security arrangements were extremely poor, and there were many boys under the influence of alcohol, which made the environment uncomfortable for families. Although the staff behaviour was good and they were helpful, the overall management was terrible. The swimming pool was not clean, and most of the slides were under maintenance, which ruined the fun. Even the swimming tubes were punctured, and we had to fill air again and again to use them. Overall, a very bad experience — not worth the money or time.
