रामदारा मंदिर , पुणे / Ramdara Temple , Pune




Ramdara Temple , Pune
As I entered inside temple area, I was awestruck by the beauty. The temple is in the middle of a pond with coconut and palm trees everywhere making the whole scene so beautiful. For the next few minutes, I just stood there watching and enjoying the beauty of nature. I could see remarkable temple reflections in the pond. I believe sunrise or sunset is the best time to visit Ramdara Temple if you want to capture some splendid photos. In fact, I should thank the clouds for giving such a dramatic sky.

About the Temple : The main deity of the temple is Lord Shiva. However the beautiful idol of Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Sita and Hanuman inside the main shrine has made the temple well renowned. Outside the main sanctum, you will come across other Hindu deities. There is also a sculptural representation of the Dasha Avatars (10 different forms) of Lord Vishnu inside the temple. The temple was constructed 50 – 60 years ago and resembles modern architecture. The temple is very serene inside. There are beautiful wall paintings and also artistic sculptures representing mythological stories. There is also a Nandi (bull) inside the temple which is a must see.

This temple was established by Late Shree Devipuri Maharaj (Dhundi Baba).

Kokan Bike Ride: Dreamy Coastal Roads, Tasty Local Eats, Epic Beach Camping & Ancient Forts

I’ve always dreamed of taking a bike ride along the stunning Konkan coast, but this journey? It was beyond my wildest expectations. With every twist and turn, Kokan revealed something new - coastal roads lined with coconut trees, quiet beaches, hidden forts, and unforgettable Kokani food. But what made it even better was having Raahi Outdoors by my side. They took care of every detail, making sure the entire trip was seamless, exciting, and full of memories I’ll carry forever. Riding the Dream: Kokan’s Coastal Roads The roads here were made for biking. Winter added its magic, with cool, fresh air and the sun lighting up the coastline. Imagine riding through winding paths with lush green trees on one side and ocean views on the other. Each turn showed me something new - a sparkling view of the sea, rows of towering coconut trees, and the kind of beauty that you only find in quiet, hidden places.
