LORD BHIMASHANKAR OF SAHYADRI

The present new temple is quite big and built on the Indo Aryan style bearing resemblance to the Jain shrine. It has a square mandap in front of the garbhagriha, which is adorned with artistic embellishments. The ornamented door frame; elegant pillars and mural adornments resembling the figures of similar one at Nevas and Toke are superb and are heightening the grandeur of the temple. The sikhar with its size and artistry is adding grace to the whole structure. Offering ritualistic worship we come out to visit some other important shrines adjoining the temple. The shrines dedicated to Kamalaja and Sakini and Dakini who helped the Lord during the war deserve visitation and they are in the vicinity and are installed in befitting manner. Situated up above the high hill and amidst the thick forest this temple and modest in proportions, its past enthralls the visitors.
