Kunkeshwar Temple

It is famous, both as a picturesque holiday resort and a
religious place. The elaborately carved Kunkeshwar
Temple was built around 1100 AD, by the Yadava rulers.
Visited frequently by Shivaji, the temple is considered as
a fine example of contemporary sculpture. Kunkeshwar is
also renowned for its coconut, palm and mango
plantations and a variety of seafood. Southwards along
the coast, beyond the creek at Mumbri, is a lovely walk
all along the rocky slopes. It ends at the temple of
Kunkeshwar, a lonely stretch of sand that simply
sparkles in the sunlight.
