All of us here at would like to wish you a happy Maha Shivratri.
Alibaug itself possesses one of the most beautiful Shiva Temple, The Kankeshwar temple.
It incorporates many small temples of Sri Paleshwar, Sri Hanuman, Sri Balram Krishna and God Shiva. In the mid of the hill one can see "Nagobacha Tappa" (a place of snakes) and the famous step called "Devachi Payari" is named because, it is said that God himself stepped here after the construction of the temple and the steps. The hill is almost 1,200 feet high and one has to climb 700- 750 steps to reach the temple. The temple of Kanakeshwar is very beautiful it is a Hoyasala style structure built in 1764. The temple was built by Raja Ramdeoraj Yadav.
