Rameshwar temple

Just 3km from Vijaydurg, the Rameshwar temple, is the place of devotional faith.  Like Vijaydurg fort, this temple also has historical background.  The temple was built by Gangadhar Pant Bhanu the brother of Nana Phadanvis during Peshwa period.  There is the sacred symbol of God Shankar and silver idol.  The temple has tiled roof and the whole construction is worth seeing.  The deep entrance path way has been paved out of rocky plateau ahead, so the temple is not visible from the distance.  The wooden and stone art-work inside the temple is characteristic of ancient culture.  Spacious architecture and colourful decoration of pictures add to the grandness of the temple.  Annual grand fair is held on the day of Maha Shivratri (in the Marathi month of Magha) as well as on Mondays of the Month of Shravana when a large number of devotees visit this temple to evoke the blessings of God Rameshwar.  Besides other tourists on the way to Vijaydurg also visit this significant temple.
