Very holy place for the Hindus and known as dakshin Kashi. It is considered important for after death procession. In the temple all the three gods brahma Vishnu Mahesh are there with mata patvati. First took the darshan of adjacent kalbhairav and then proceeded towards the harihareshwar old temple with wooden pillars. Most important thing is the pradakshina route which starts from the back side of the temple and slowly climbs to about 10-15 mins to the top of the hill. The view from here is amazing.

Good location. Excellent temple in the heart of the Shrivardhan city, hence very convenient to visit. Has a very traditional touch. One feels blessed to be there and spend some time at that sacred location. Ample space to park your vehicle

This is fort is at an off beat location while travelling from Harihareshwar towards the Jetty. Initially while driving towards the fort we were a bit skeptical as the road was too steep however having a powerful vehicle like Xylo made the climb look quite easy. On reaching the fort we were stunned by its beauty and wondered how such a beautiful location was not frequently visited by tourist. The fort is at the top of the hill and smaller in size compared to other similar forts but its the one offering spectacular views 270 degrees view of the Ocean. On a clear day we can see crystal clear blue waters of the Sea with few small boats doting in it. Fort also has a Cannon right at its entrance gate which takes us back to the era wherein how critical the fort location would have been for stopping the enemy ships from entering the interiors of the region. The fort thought ill maintained has a huge water tank at the entrance providing clean drinking water for the tourist. Its advised to carry own lunch/ tiffin for the visit as their are no food stalls within the vicinity of the fort. Overall its a great location to hang around with family or friends and shoot some memorable snaps.
4. Kusuma Devi Temple

If you want too experience the calm, peace and tranquillity, then this is the place to be. A temple located in a very remote part of Shrivardhan. There is a good concrete that takes us upto half a Km from the temple. That last half a Kilometre is a walk in the fields, surrounded by nature and lush green ambience all around. It's a very traditional old temple of Goddess Kusumadevi. Overall a very pleasing appearance. One feels highly blessed just by being there and having a darshan. Sit there for some time and experience the calm. Quite a refreshing experience. I have been there many a times and each time I like it even more.

Visited the temple around noon. The temple has good architecture. The original gold idol of Lord Ganesha was stolen a few years ago. You feel a different vibe when you visit the temple. Must visit if you are in the area.
