Beautiful beaches, plenty
of temples and a great historical background partially describes
Shri
Vardhan.
Shri Laxminarayan Temple
is the main temple in Shri Vardhan. The idol in the
temple is very old and issaid to be of the Hoyasal style. Other
temples are Jivaneshwar, Bhairav, Kusumdevi and Somjai.
When we
go down in history Shri Vardhan tells the story of Peshwas origin. Maharashtra
was ruled by Peshwas for nearly 105 years. The Peshwai started in Shri
Vardhan in 1713. The First Peshwa Balaji
Vishwanath continued Peshwai till 1818. Third Peshwa Balaji Bajirao had
built a house here in 1750 which is at present under the control of
Municipal Corporation. The statue of Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa has bee
recently established here.
Besides this
Shri Vardhan is a very good Picnic spot. Swimming can be enjoyed on the
beaches. Beaches are calm and quite hence safe to swim. |
