Wai, Satara, Maharashtra 412803,
India
Dholya Ganapati is a temple dedicated to
Lord Ganesha. It was built in 17th Century
according to Hemadpanti architecture by
the ruler of that time, Raja Bhoja, to protect
the Wai town from any calamity or enemies.
Lord Ganesha has an immense importance
in Maharashtra and this Ganapati temple is
really famous for the huge statue of Lord
Ganesha at the banks of River Krishna. The
name of the temple 'Dholya Ganapati' is
derived because of the size of the deity's
statue which is 10 ft tall and 8 ft in width and
the word 'Dholya' means huge or fat in
Marathi language.

Tableland
One of the nicest drives is to Tableland,
Panchgani’s crowning glory. A vast, flat
plateau, this region stretches far beyond
what the eye can see and offers the most
spectacular view of Panchgani’s pretty,
colourful rooftops against the hilly
backdrop. During peak season there is
plenty of fun for children up here in the
form of a ferris wheel, a toy train, pony and
horse rides and many games stalls. You can
also drive to Parsi Point for what is perhaps
the best view around - of Krishna Valley

Plateau to its right and the Koyna dam to its
left, it is inter-cut by a flowing river and
dotted with tiny hamlets, setting the perfect
backdrop for some awe-inspiring
photography and moments spent in the lap
of lush, green nature.

is divided into two areas, the inner and
outer rooms. The inner room or the
sanctum sanctorum has Shiva as its
presiding deity, with a black stone lingam
(stone incarnation of Lord Shiva) as its
central figure. You'll find several carvings of
Shiva's vehicle, the sacred bull and
Kalbairav, his bodyguard. The temple also
houses Shiva's bed, damru and trishul,
dating back 300 years. Legend has it that the
bed used to be crumpled in the morning,
indicating Shiva's presence during the night
at the temple. An important temple on any
Shiv-bhakt's pilgrimage plan, this temple has
a serene, tranquil ambience that will
transport you to higher realms of
spirituality.The main draw is the ancient
Mahabaleshwara Temple with its 6-foot-tall
linga, of which only the tip can be seen.
