Why to visit Kunkeshwar Beach

Kunkeshwar Beach - Kunkeshwar Temple, an ancient Shiva Temple, is located 14 kilometres from Devgad town in Kunkeshwar hamlet. The splendour of the temple environs is enhanced by a clean beach with a lengthy stretch of shoreline and white sand.

This lovely seaside temple has enticing architecture that is evocative of South Indian temple architecture. This temple was built in 1100 A.D. by the Yadav Kings. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who revitalised this temple on several occasions, was a frequent visitor. This temple is also known as South Konkan's Kashi. Every year, on the festival of Mahashivratri, a large celebration takes place, bringing religious beliefs into the public front. During the event, a significant number of devotees, along with their family and friends, attend this location. Everyone who surrenders to the feet of this alert Shiva deity receives blessings.
