Another Day In Paradise

HI Guyz, First wishing you all Happy Frndshp day,After a long time yesterday left for an amazing journey to search of paradise...We left from arround 719 AM from our home...Reached #goodluckcafe had an amazing tea and was waiting for Sagar and Rocky was new to us...but wenever the journey started getting more interested we got to know him better. We lanned to hit Bhimashankar...So we started our journey from Cafe Goodluck and from there it was around 111 Kms Approx. While going on bikes it was raining heavily at ghats and was feeling really nice that at last rain drops were touching the grouds...As we were waiting say hi to Rain ...while having this fun we were seeing Cascades (Series of small waterfalls) we waited below One Cascade which was Very Nice...Near Wada, Maharashtra, India ...We clicked some photographs and moved ahead ...While having that fun we reached that fun at last we reached Bhimashankar.

Bhimashankar Temple is a Jyotirlinga shrine located 50 km northwest of Khed, near Pune, in India. It is located 127 km from Shivaji Nagar (Pune) in the Ghat region of the Sahyadri hills. Bhimashankar is also the source of the river Bhima, which flows southeast and merges with the Krishna river near Raichur. The other Jyotirlinga shrines in Maharashtra are Vaidyanath near Parli Dist Beed, Trimbakeshwara near Nashik, Grishneshwar near Aurangabad and Aundha Nagnath Temple in Hingoli.
It was very foggy and very cold, We had tea and Bhajipaav ...Wow ..Then at around 2:33 Pm we left and planned for Lenyadri Ganpati.I did not know what was the history of the temles, afterwards I found it was from one of the Ashtavinayak darshan.


Lenyadri (Marathi: लेण्याद्री, Leṇyādri) represents a series of about 30 rock-cut Buddhist caves, located near Junnar in Pune district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Cave 7 is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to the god Ganesha. It is one of the Ashtavinayak shrines, a set of the eight prominent Ganesha shrines in Maharashtra.

Twenty-six of the caves are individually numbered. The caves face to the south and are numbered serially from east to west.Caves 6 and 14 are chaitya-grihas (chapels), while the rest are viharas (dwellings for monks). The latter are in the form of dwellings and cells. There are also several rock-cut water cisterns; two of them have inscriptions. The layout of the caves, in general, are similar in pattern and shape. They generally have one or two sides with two long benches for occupants' use.
When we reached at the top it was amazing to see below ...Amazing Nature ...Wow ... As always Journey i will tell you people to visit it once ......
