Event Details
About:
Kallu waterfalls: Kalu Waterfall is a massive, multi-tiered cascade (approx. 1,200 ft high) situated in the Malshej Ghat region of Maharashtra, India, formed by the Kalu River. Known as one of the tallest, most scenic waterfalls in the area, it is a popular monsoon destination (July–October) for trekking through dense forests, featuring a moderately challenging 5 km route near Khubi village and Sawarne.
Nageshwar temple near Khireshwar:
This is a great antique construction, and diverse artistic works are seen on this. On the ceiling of the temple are carvings. The main attraction of the carvings here is the 1.5 m long sculpture of Lord Vishnu in the sleeping posture, popularly known as "Sheshshayi Vishnu" in Marathi. It is rare and hence holds a lot of importance.There are caves near the temple.
The Harishchandreshwar Temple : its an ancient 6th-century Shiva temple located on the Harishchandragad fort in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district. Famed for its Hemadpanti architecture, this, along with the Kedareshwar Cave's unique, water-surrounded Shivlingam, attracts trekkers and devotees. It is reachable via treks from Khireshwar or Paachnai.
