Love flourishes here all around,
An abode of heaven is now on the ground.

| Panchganga Mandir | |
|
Panchganga Mandir is one of the holy places of Mahabaleshwar. Water from five different rivers (Koyna, Krishna, Venna, Savitri and Gayatri) get together in this place and it comes out from the Gomukh (a cows mouth) carved in stone. So this place is called as Panchganga Mandir. This famous temple was first built by Raja Singhandeo, King of the Yadav of Devgiri in 13th Century. Finally it was improved and enlarged by Maratha Emperor Shivaji in 16th Century. |
| Venna Lake | |
 |
Venna
Lake is the first and major attraction of Mahabaleshwar. It is very
famous for boating. Boating in the Venna lake is full of pleasure
for all, old as well as youngsters. This Lake was constructed by Maharaja
Shahaji of Satara and was completed in the year 1842. |

| Pratapgadh | |
 |
A visit to Pratapgadh adds a historical dimension
to the Mahabaleshwar trip. It is a place where the history of Maratha
Emperor Shivaji took a decisive course when mighty Afzal khan met
his death. Shivaji Maharaja then established himself as a significant
force in the contemporary power politics.
Pratapgadh 900 mtrs above sea level, lies 19 kms. west of Mahabaleshwar. This fort from a distance looks like a round topped hill, the wall of lower fort forming a sort of a band or crown round the brow. |
| Tapola Dam | |
 |
Tapola, 28 kms. from Mahabaleshwar with its
virgin beauty is also a very scenic point. Koyna Dam's back water
and the picturesque surroundings make this place an ideal picnic
and boating spot.
