Kshetra Mahabaleshwar is the place from where 7 rivers originate!V old temoples dedicated to Mahabaleshwar and Atibaleshwar.Near by very beautifully carved temple overlooking the valley is unforgettable.Lots of food stalls.Try to park your car on the temple ground, not outside "Parking Lot". They are private and almost force you to park there.

  • The temple site from which the place was named. One of the temples is dedicated to five rivers of Maharashtra the major ones being Krishna and Koyna.The former flows southernly and the latter initially north westerly and both meet at a place called Karad. The "five river temple" has five springs which flow together spouting from a "gomukh" (meaning 'cow's mouth')and the five rivers later imerge from their origin elsewhere. The site is considered holy by Hindis.
  • Is it true that this temple is 5000 years old ?
