Visited the Shri Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi and felt deeply peaceful and spiritually connected. The temple, built over the sacred site where Sai Baba lived and taught, attracts millions of devotees seeking blessings and solace. Sai Baba’s message of faith, compassion, and unity still resonates strongly, and being in that divine space was truly uplifting.

Omm Sai Ram..🙏 Visiting Shirdi and the Sai Baba Temple brings a sense of inner peace. Every day, numerous devotees from across the country visit this sacred place. The temple is well-managed, ensuring that everything runs smoothly for visitors.

Went to shirdi sai baba temple with family. A blissful place of worship in shirdi, maharashtra state. Had two wonderful darshans of sai baba in the main temple without any wait time due to availability of the rs 200 per head special darshan tickets. Had prasad in the prasadalaya. Visited dwarkamai, hanuman temple, chavadi. Also visited the newly started Sai Theertha show with 3D movies of sai baba, other shows on krishna, hanuman and a train ride to see the important pilgrimage places of india. Beautiful.

It felt amazing — I visited several times and experienced a deep sense of peace inside the Sai Baba temple.

Only a certain portion of the fort is open to public.. army area.. parking available within the fort .. not maintained properly.. no tickets.. free entry.. 1. Foundation and Architectural Style: The fort was constructed around 1559 CE during the reign of Malik Ahmad Nizam Shah. Its architecture is a blend of medieval Indian military fortifications, with high walls, bastions, and a surrounding moat. It was designed to serve as a military stronghold and withstand sieges. The circular design with 24 bastions makes it one of the most formidable forts of its time. 2. Role in the Deccan Sultanates: Ahmednagar Fort was the seat of power for the Nizam Shahi dynasty of the Deccan region. It was central to their control over the Deccan Plateau and saw numerous battles during the wars between the Sultanates of Bijapur, Golconda, and the Mughal Empire. 3. Conflict with the Mughals: In 1600, the fort became the site of intense conflict when the Mughal Emperor Akbar laid siege to it. Chand Bibi, the queen regent of Ahmednagar, famously defended the fort against Akbar’s forces. However, the fort eventually fell to the Mughals, marking the decline of the Nizam Shahi dynasty. Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor, also used Ahmednagar Fort during his campaigns to subdue the Marathas. 4. Role during British Rule: The fort gained renewed significance during the British colonial period. It was used as a prison by the British to detain several Indian freedom fighters during the independence movement. Most notably, Jawaharlal Nehru, along with other leaders of the Indian National Congress, was imprisoned in Ahmednagar Fort in 1942 during the Quit India Movement. Nehru wrote his famous book, "The Discovery of India," while incarcerated here

There is not much to explore in the fort. You are just allowed to take a walk on the fort walls.

One of the oldest first in India but still in good condition as maintained by Indian Army. One can They allow to visit outer wall of the fort only and museum is open in special occasion like 15th August, 26th January. The fort is in circular shape and one can walk the entire outer wall on the walkway made on the top of the wall.

The Ahmednagar fort is a small fort occupied by military. Military allows visit of fort free. The structures inside fort are in dilapidated condition in absence of maintenance. The wall of fort is strong and one can walk on the wall of fort. It takes maximum one hour to complete tour of fort

The fort was built during A.D. 1553 to A.D. 1565. The fort has 24 bastions, one large gate and some other gates. The fort has seen many handovers of powers from Nizams to Mughals to Peshwa and to British emperors finally coming under regulation of India post independence. This is very strong fort on ground and was difficult to conquer in the history. It is quite large and some area can be seen by general public as rest of the area is army camp. During Aug 1942 to April 1945, Indian political leaders were kept as interns of this fort which was converted to British jail that time.. View from fort wall is very nice. Feel very proud to see big tricolor flag on the wall ! You can go to tank museum which is nearby (approx 3 km from fort)

This is over 500 years old fort. It's now open to see it , just that we need to keep our id card at the entrance and need to pick it up once you are done. Octagonal Palace is a nice architectural monument. Leaders block is a place where many of the freedom fighters were prisoned from 1942- 1945. Our first prime minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote his famous book Discovery of India in this prison. They have many self explanatory boards. One can walk on the walls of the fort. It's nice panoramic view. Very quite place.

Must visit the place where our freedom fighters stayed for more than 3 years. This fort is under control of Indian Army. Fort is still in its original physical structure. Good to visit once here.

It is nice temple of Malganga Devi situated close to Nighoj potholes point. It is approx. 80kms from Pune and Road conditions are Ok. You can enjoy snacks and juices. Ambience is good and you can spent couple of hours here. Nearby natural potholes are main point of attractions. You can enjoy the natural beauty through hanging bridge. People usually come to visit this place.

Place is very nice, need to be development for tourism aspect. Water flowing is looking very nice.

Very silent place to be there in weak days. Temple color is very beautiful combination. At sunset temple view is can't express in words so please be there to feel beauty of temple.

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.

Situated next to a very busy highway. Half of the energy is spent commuting from Pune city. The remaining half is spent waiting in a very long queue for hours. Buying a premium ticket helps you to get ahead of the queue, but it is not worth it. It used to be a good place to visit, but due to commercialization, it has become difficult to recommend. Once you enter the temple, you can spend some time, but by the time you feel tired and just want to return home. Oh yes, parking could be difficult too. It is entirely uncovered and people just park anywhere without any care of inconvenience caused to others.

One of the Ashtavinayak about one hour from pune while on the way to Ahilya nagar or shirdi is must stop. Small place but can be crowded depending on the day you visit. Most of the time should be fine. The temple has red stone murti of Ganesha but its hugeness is amazing. It is located on the main road so if no traffic one can easily park and walk and get darshan within 30 minutes.

I had a truly wonderful time at this place. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The surroundings were well-maintained, adding to the overall serene vibe. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or just a calming spot to spend some time, this place is a must-visit.

The temple is located alongside Pune- Ahilyanagar highway near Shikrapur. It is approximately 50 kms away from Pune city. Ranjangaon bus stand is close by. The original idol is known to have 10 trunks and 20 hands. This temple was developed by Madhavrao Peshva 1 and later by Sardar Kibe. The temple is a beautiful stone walled structure with spacious and airy surroundings. Temple premises houses a pilgrims residence (bhakt niwas). The queue is long but moves fast. There is an option of faster darshan using queue passes. There is a beautiful garden surrounding the temple with animal sculptures. The idol has been placed in the temple premise in a manner that during specific time of year the sunrays fall on the idol. The Shree Ganesha diety residing here is also known as 'Mahotkat'. It is said that Lord Shiva invoked Shree Ganeshas blessings here to defeat Tripurasur. Hence the place has special siginficance on Tripurari Pournima(full moon) and also Bhadrapad (6th Hindu month of the Indian calendar system) Ganesh Chaturthi. This shrine is visited eight in sequential (Shastrokt) Ashtavinayak darshan. In the same sequence one must also visit the Moreshwar temple of Morgaon post Ranjangaon Mahangapati temple visit, marking the completion of Ashtavinayak yatra! When in this place make it a point to stroll the local market for variuos fresh veggies, fruits, dried fruits etc. My sincere best wishes to all Bappa devotees who embark on the journey of Ashtavinayak yatra or simply visit this temple on its own! The Mahaganpati of Ranjangaon brings the ultimatate sense of divinity in the devotees mind! Morya!

This is very famous temple, this has history. But there is no discipline no separate way for lines, unable to handle crowd. Would not recommend to visit on weekends it's over crowed and you ll not get darshan also. Ware clothes keeping in mind they ll get turmeric all over on you. You need to climb many steps. Foods is not at all good there especially if you are looking for lunch or dinner. No cabs autos are there. Personal vehical is recommended.

"Khandoba Temple in Jejuri is an iconic and revered spot, especially for devotees of Lord Khandoba. Situated atop a hill (gad), the temple requires a climb up many steps, but the journey is worth it.

This revered Ganesha temple is a cultural landmark in Pune, boasting stunning architecture, intricate craftsmanship, and a devotional ambiance. The magnificent Ganesha idol, adorned in bright pink and yellow garments, sits majestically against textured dark stone walls.

Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir is a truly breathtaking temple in Pune. I recently had the privilege of visiting this sacred place at night, around 12:30 AM, during their Mogra Mohutsav celebration. The temple was adorned with an abundance of fragrant mogra flowers, creating a mesmerizing and ethereal atmosphere. The intricate decorations and the serene ambiance left me deeply moved. It was an unforgettable experience to witness the devotion and the beauty of this sacred site. I highly recommend visiting Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir, especially during special occasions like the Mogra Mohutsav, for a truly spiritual and enriching experience.

Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir holds a special place in my heart. Every time I visit Pune, I make it a point to seek the divine blessings of Lord Ganesha here. The temple’s aura is truly spiritual, filling me with peace and positivity the moment I step inside. The idol of Lord Ganpati is beautifully adorned with gold ornaments, radiating a sense of warmth and serenity. The atmosphere inside the temple is always filled with devotion, with continuous chants and bhajans enhancing the spiritual experience. No matter how many times I visit, the feeling of being in the presence of Bappa is always overwhelming and deeply fulfilling. One of the best things about the temple is the availability of a ₹100 darshan pass, which makes the darshan much quicker, especially during peak hours and festival days. It’s a great option when time is limited but the desire to seek blessings remains strong. However, even if I have to wait in the regular queue, the energy of the place and the devotion of fellow devotees make the experience worthwhile. I also love observing the temple’s beautifully maintained surroundings and the way it is lit up during special occasions, especially Ganesh Chaturthi. The grandeur and devotion with which the festival is celebrated here are unmatched. For me, a visit to Pune is incomplete without visiting Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir. It’s not just a place of worship; it’s a source of strength, positivity, and unwavering faith. Every visit leaves me with a sense of calm and reassurance, knowing that Bappa’s blessings are always with me.

It was really beautiful place. It was my 1st time visit. Very positive vibes. I reached a bit late but i got to attend 'Aarti' and after that the doors were closed. I guess i was lucky. I didn't expected that it's gonna be on main road. That surprised me. Very beautiful place. Will visit soon ..

Visited the Temple on Wedneday Evening.Very crowded took almost 25 minutes to have Darshan. Lots of modifications for guiding the Q line.But not many signboards. Also the approach is occupied by flower stalls. No one to guide Devotees. Inside the Temple,had a very good Darshan.No pushing or speeding up. The lord was decorated in Rajas costume.livrly colours Ambience was very good Feel the vibrations as you were exiting the small place for assembly & prayer.

Powerful old Ganapathi temple in a crowded locality.There are special tickets for quick darshan.Shoe stand outside is well maintained with the staff offering to spray water to clean hands after removing footwear.The temple is congested with hardly any place to sit inside.The darshan on a regular day takes about 15 minutes.There's a temple prasad counter inside the temple premises for laddoos.Digital payments for tickets and prasad is a good.Ganapathi is towering and powerful with an extremely fulfilling feeling during darshan.A must visit temple in Pune.

Calm, beautiful and spiritual place to enjoy your mornings or evenings. We reached there a little late around 12.15pm but it turned out to be a good time to visit there. As at 12:30pm is for Aarti time. We had an opportunity to attend the Aarti and have the Darshan until 1pm. As after 1pm Mandir will be closed for Darshan but the other parts of Mandir can still be accessed. We purchased the Bhagvad Gita from this place for which the price is very less.

Once you start climbing it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the entry door of the fort. Enjoy the natural landscape while climbing and do not forget to take at least 2 water bottles with you. There is availability of Lemon Juice by locals at some point of fort i guess there may be 12 to 15 rest spots throughout climbing. Most important is you need to start descending compulsory at 5pm if not you have to face dark night and night at Rajgad is early its dark at 6.30 pm, so just don't take change because if anything bad happens there is very small chance you will get notice. Overall the experience is best only if you have the capability to do it.

We went from IIT Bombay to Rajgarh Fort—about a 5-hour drive. The fort is large with plenty to explore, and the trek is fairly easy. We started our trek around 7:30 AM from the base and returned by 1:30 PM. Torna Fort is also clearly visible and looks stunning.

Truly the KING of forts "Rajgad👑"One of the toughest forts in terms of trekking. Amazing views from the top. Shoes with good grip and ample amount of water and food is highly recommended.

Great views from the top. But a difficult trek (esp from the Chor Darwaja side). It takes about 2.5 hours to trek with breaks. The fort is spread a lot and a lot of walking is needed to explore it. In fact, trekking and exploring the entire fort in a day is very difficult.

Table Land in Panchgani is a great spot to relax and unwind. It's perfect for spending quality time with friends or family, with scenic views of the surrounding landscapes. There’s even a small lake on top of the plateau, and horse riding adds a fun touch to the experience. Peaceful, refreshing, and worth a visit!

A must visit of Panchgani. It's a large flat land on the top of the mountain which makes it look like a table. Since the are is big, it would take 1-2 hours to cover all the sides by foot.However horse rides are available - solo ride or horse cart both. It would take around 30-40mins to complete. Views from this place is really amazing - from all the sides. There is a cave, claimed to be used by Panda vas at the end of one end. Around 40 steps and you reach there. It's beautiful - please explore.

Great flat land for horse riding and site seeing but please be aware of scams. At first they'll offer u a free ride then quote a hefty amount to see a few points which are on same land. If you deny, they send someone else from their team and after you get down, previous people would come and say horse were on rental basis and need to share revenue with them as well. Strike a fair and clear deal, then you're good to go.

Awesome view and fantastic Place.so many horses are there for do Horse riding activity with lower price we all full enjoyed . but don't have many food options.my last experience - got only Maggie and Vada pav ,bhaji with high cost and lowest quantity .

Absolute picturesque. It has 9 points to visit. Ghodawalas will approach you right outside, you can either take a horse or walk on your own. If you take a horse then try to bargain cause they charge 3600Rs which is super expensive and not justified at all. We bargained to get the horse at 1300 for 6 points and rest 3 points we walked.

One of the most beautiful points to visit in Panchgani is a scenic spot deeply connected to the town’s name. According to local lore, the name Panchgani originates from the five plains located atop the hills. These plains provide a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, making it a must-visit for nature lovers. The scenic beauty here is truly mesmerizing, especially during sunrise and sunset, when the sky is painted with vibrant colors. For those exploring the area, there are two popular options: a single horse ride or a cart ride. If you are traveling with family, the cart option is highly recommended as it is spacious and often comes with a guide. The guide typically takes you to 5-6 points, explaining the history and theories behind each location. While this can be interesting, I would suggest taking your time to enjoy the serene environment rather than rushing through the points. The single horse ride, though unique, tends to be a bit pricey compared to the cart option. However, for solo travelers or couples, it could still be a charming experience. Whichever option you choose, Panchgani’s charm lies in its tranquility and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable destination.

Location- Owesome an beautiful seens 2 Caves- Good experience..5-10 mins walk only Horse ride- don't go for 9 point show they almost ask for 2600rs per horse which is pathetic. Near to 1400rs it's fine for 9 points. Note: Don't pay more that 1500rs for horse ride.

Overall, it's a great spot to visit, especially for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts."

This place is a must visit Point in Mahabaleshwar. I'll suggest instead of visiting the entire Mahabaleshwar please visit here if you love peace and nature. You can watch the sunset here which is truly great and if you are lucky enough then there is a chance to watch Gaur(Rangava or Wild buffalo)

A serene place with a sad past. This Arthur's seat point is a one-of-a-kind place. Legend has it that Sir Arthur Wallet lost his wife and daughter in a gruesome accident in the Savitri river. He used to visit this place that overlooks the Savitri valley. Viewing sunset from this point has a kind of energy that is hard to put in words. No wonder this has been called as the 'queen of all points' that fall along the track to this one. The wind is endless, so you can cherish it to your heart's content! The chai at the nearby Shivkrupa Snack point is just perfect addition to the place.

Over crowded and money worthy lake with boating and near house riding must try and enjoy with children and family members only one thing would say parking space was not available very good place for enjoying lake taking pictures and eating street foods

This lake is 90 feet deep. If you’re visiting with just two people and want to go for a boat ride, I highly recommend opting for a speedboat, which costs around ₹800 for 6 people and 1 child for 30 minutes. The price is fixed regardless of whether you’re 2, 3, or 6 people. Be cautious of scammers in the area – they may offer to arrange for 3-4 other people to join, but they’ll charge more than the actual price and won’t provide tickets. Remember, when you buy tickets, insurance is included, so if there’s any accident , the boat service management won’t be held responsible.

The stone fortress at Sajjangadh built by saint Samarth Ramdas is really a scenic and spiritual place near Satara, Maharashtra.

On the fort they have a prasad facility that starts from 12 pm and ends at 2 pm. They have a museum with a collection of Samarth Ramdas Swami.

For a long time I was trying to find a chance to visit sajjan Gadh. Finally I got a chance to visit the place . It's a really good location. Around 250-300 steps are there to climb. Road side vendors for Jamun, chass, ice Gola, kokam sarbat, welcome you while climbing. Seen them encouraging people to climb. Once I reached the temple it was a peaceful location. There are two wells having water sources for the gad.

The climb to the fort is moderately challenging, with well-maintained steps and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The serenity of the place is unparalleled, making it ideal for those seeking peace and a connection to history. The fort’s architecture is simple yet captivating, reflecting its historical importance. The temples and Samarth Ramdas Swami's samadhi are the main attractions, offering an enriching spiritual experience. The volunteers at Sajjangad maintain the area remarkably well, and they even serve free meals (Prasad) to all visitors, a gesture of pure hospitality. The panoramic view from the top of the fort is stunning, especially during the monsoon season when the lush greenery and waterfalls create a magical atmosphere. Overall, Sajjangad is a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. It’s a must-visit for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone looking to experience the legacy of Maharashtra’s rich cultural heritage. Tips for Visitors: Wear comfortable shoes for the climb.

A visit to Sajjangad is not just a trip; it’s an experience that touches your heart and soul.

Sajjangad, the final resting place of the revered Saint Ramdas Swami, offers a unique blend of spiritual solace, historical significance, and serene natural beauty. A visit to this fort, perched atop a hill near Satara, is a journey that engages both the mind and the soul. While the experience is largely enriching, there are aspects visitors should be aware of to make the most of their trip. On the positive side, Sajjangad's primary draw is its profound spiritual atmosphere. The temple dedicated to Lord Rama and the samadhi (memorial) of Samarth Ramdas Swami exude a sense of peace and reverence. The daily rituals, prayers, and the chanting of devotional hymns create a truly immersive and uplifting experience. The ashram, with its simple yet well-maintained structures, offers a glimpse into the life and teachings of the saint, fostering a sense of tranquility and introspection. The opportunity to partake in prasads, the sanctified food offered at the temple, is a deeply fulfilling and traditional aspect of the visit. These simple meals, often consisting of dal, rice, and vegetables, carry a sense of community and spiritual nourishment. Beyond the religious structures, the open spaces within the fort offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, providing a welcome respite and a chance to connect with nature. The relatively untouched environment contributes to the overall sense of serenity. Additionally, the presence of some small shops selling religious paraphernalia, local crafts, and simple snacks caters to the basic needs of pilgrims and visitors, adding a touch of local flavor to the experience. The well-maintained pathways and the overall cleanliness of the fort premises are also commendable, making the ascent and exploration relatively comfortable. However, while the spiritual and historical aspects of Sajjangad are undeniably compelling, there are a few points to consider. The ascent to the fort, while manageable for most, can be challenging for individuals with mobility issues, especially during hot weather. The steps can be steep in places, and there isn't an alternative mode of transport to the top. While there are some shops, the variety of food options beyond the prasad is limited. Visitors looking for a wider culinary experience might need to plan their meals accordingly, either before or after their visit to the fort. Furthermore, during peak pilgrimage seasons or on weekends, the fort can get quite crowded, which might detract from the sense of peace and tranquility that many visitors seek. The limited infrastructure to handle large crowds could lead to longer queues and a less intimate experience. While the simplicity of the ashram is part of its charm, some visitors might find the facilities basic. Finally, while the open spaces offer stunning views, there could be more informative signage or viewpoints highlighting the historical or geographical significance of the surroundings. In conclusion, Sajjangad Fort offers a deeply enriching experience for those seeking spiritual solace and a connection with history. The serene temple, the tranquil ashram, the opportunity to partake in prasad, and the breathtaking views create a memorable and uplifting visit. However, potential visitors should be prepared for the uphill climb, the limited food options beyond prasad, and potential crowds during peak times. Despite these considerations, Sajjangad remains a significant and worthwhile destination for pilgrims, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the natural beauty of Maharashtra. The spiritual aura and the historical significance of this fort make it a journey that nourishes both the body and the soul.

Online booking in not available. We get to see waterfall up close if you are willing to walk. Also there are two exit gates, need to be careful with that. Its a worderful place overall but visit only in rainy season or immediately after it.
