Sangam Mahuli : A Serene Riverside Retreat Near Satara

 A Peaceful Visit to Sangam Mahuli - Where Two Rivers Meet

Today I visited Sangam Mahuli, a place located about 4 kilometers from Satara. This village is situated at the confluence of the Krishna and Venna rivers, which divides the area into two parts: on one side is Sangam Mahuli ad on the other is Kshetra Mahuli.

The site holds historical significance as it is home to the samadhi (memorials)of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj and Maharani Tararani, located on the banks of the river at Sangam Mahuli. During the monsoon season, when the water level of the river rises, these samadhis sometimes go underwater.

There are two temples here, one of which is the Vishweshwar Temple, located on the southern bank of the Venna River, right at the confluence of the Krushna and Venna rivers. The temple is constructed entirely of stone. The entrance to the temple, which faces the river, had wide stone steps.

Inside the temple's Sabhamandap (assembly hall), on the left side, there is an idol of Lord Ganapati, and on the right side, an idol Mahishasurmardini. There is also a large bell in the temple. On the northern and western sides of the temple, there are stone verandahs (ovras) which traditionally used by pilgrims for staying overnight and for cooking food.

The temples here are very old, and visiting this place brings a deep sense of peace and positivity.
