The idol
Lord Ganesh named as Varda Vinayayak was build in 1725 during
Peshwa rule. The structure of the temple looks like a ordinary
house. The mysterious idol of lord Ganesh was found under the well
behind temple, and this is the main center of attraction.
There is a
Gomukh towards north. Holy water comes out of it.As Konkan railways
is function ,this is the most easiest way to reach there. And by road you
can reach the place through S.T. bus from Karjat, Khopoli and Thane.
To reach here from Pune
one needs to go from Pune - Lonavala - then after Khopoli a way goes to
Mahad. Distance from Pune to Mahad is 84 kms.
The place is very nice and can visit any time round the year. |
