Kolhapur

Kolhapur, the land of magnificent temples, is the religious pride of

Maharashtra. Nested in the tranquil laps of the Sahyadri mountain ranges,
it is situated on the banks of the river Panchganga. Also termed as a city
of palaces and gardens, it is a historic Maratha city, with the
Mahalakshmi temple forming the focus. Arts, aristocracy and
graciousness, combined with culture stepped in spiritualism, education
and modernization.

Founded by Chhatrapati Tarabai, this princely state flourished under the

reign of Chhatrapati’s of Kolhapur, especially under the legendry
Rajarshi Shahu Chhatrapati Maharaj and Rajaram Chhatrapati Maharaj
who set a vision and laid the foundation of modern Kolhapur. The
crowning glory of the district of Kolhapur is the Ambabai (Mahalakshmi)
Temple, where pilgrims in millions come every year to seek her
blessings. There is a strong belief after one worships Lord Balaji at
Tirupati, offering prayer to goddess Mahalakshmi is essential to complete
the pilgrimage.

Kolhapur, known as ‘Dakshin Kashi’ is one of the most prosperous and

joyous city of India in Southern Maharashtra in western Ghats. Kolhapur,
the town of goddess Mahalakshmi is gifted with an incredible
archeological & cultural heritage, magnificent temples, monuments, forts,
lakes and gardens. Kolhapur is world famous for Kolhapuri Chappals &
Jaggery. Flushed with tourists all around the year ,city is equally famous
for special Kolhapuri Misal and Kolhapur Rassa and many more mouth
watering delicacies.
 About Us

Nothing explains the Sayaji way of life like the Banyan tree. The Banyan
plays many roles during the course of its long life. It epitomizes and
defines relationships we know of and bonds that are yet to be made. In
some ways it is like the patriarch, depicting the lineage, strong roots and
an undying will of an ever-growing family.
For travelers from far and wide it provides comfort and peace in its
never-ending shade and care that only a mother can give. Like a good old
friend it can keep secrets, protects you and bring you solace in times of
need. Just like the Banyan tree, we at Sayaji strive to be the haven that
every global traveler deserves.
We have been redefining hospitality since our inception in Vadodara 20
years ago. For us hospitality is about making people comfortable even
though they are far away from their comfort zone. Whether it’s using
technology creatively or genuinely greeting you any time of the day, we
have only your best interest at heart.
We aim to forever be your Banyan tree of hospitality, a place where
everyone is welcome, special and truly important.

The ancient Kopeshwar temple at Khidrapur in Kolhapur District is
dedicated to Lord Shiva and sits on the bank of River Krishna. There are
reasons to believe that even though the construction of Kopeshwar temple
started sometime in 7th century AD, the work remained incomplete
largely due to constant skirmishes between warring rulers of the region.
The renovation was completed only in the 12 th Century by the Shilahara
and the Yadava Kings.

This temple is in four parts, all interconnected through vestibules. The

first structure you enter through is the Swarga Mandap (Heavenly Hall).
The architecture of Swarga mandap is unique. This mandap is round in
shape and is constructed with the support of 48 well carved rounded stone
pillars which are placed in three circles. Each of the 48 pillars has been
carved in different shapes -round, square, hexagon and octagon. Another
unique feature of Swarga Mandap is that a part of the circular ceiling in
the middle (with a radius of 13 feet) is open to the sky. The sanctum is
conical. The exterior has stunning carvings of deities and secular figures.
Elephant statues sustain the weight of the temple at the base.

This is a unique temple inasmuch as visitors first get a glimpse of Lord
Vishnu as Dhopeshwar in ling form instead of the Shivaling which is
usually the case in temples consecrated to Lord Shiva. The Shivaling is
facing north and both lings are found in the same sanctum sanctorum.
Another notable feature of this temple is that there is no Nandi at the
entrance- which is the norm for all Shiva temples. The mythology behind
these unique features makes for a fascinating explanation.

It is believed that Daksha, who did not like his youngest daughter Sati
marrying Lord Shiva, conducted a Yagna to which he did not invite the
couple. Sati visited her father’s house on Shiva’s Nandi to confront her
father. Dakhsa insulted her in front of the guests present at the Yagna.
Unable to bear any further insults, Sati jumped in the fire of Yagna and
immolated herself. When Lord Shiva came to know about it he was
infuriated. He punished Daksha by severing his head. Lord Vishnu
pacified Shiva whereupon he restored Daksha’s head but with a goat’s
head. The furious Shiva was brought to Khidrapur temple by Lord Vishnu
to calm him down. Hence the temple got its unusual name as Kopeshwar
(wrathful god). This explains as to why Lord Vishnu is in the temple in
the form of a ling (phallus) along with Shivling and Nandi is not seen in
this temple as Sati rode on the Nandi while visiting her parent’s home.

The Kopeshwar temple is a must-see on the tourist itinerary for its ancient
and artistic sculpture. This is a busy temple which sees a lot of
worshippers on Mondays and Shivratri nights.
