Victoria bridge constructed over Hiranyakeshi River 100's of year ago by British government.The river takes birth in the Hiranyakeshwar temple, a holy shrine dedicated to the goddess Parvati near the famous hill-station of Amboli. It quickly flows in a north-west direction towards Jakatwadi, a small village next to Amboli. Here the river turns right almost at an right angle and begins to flow eastwards similar to most rivers flowing on the Deccan Plateau. It flows underneath a bridge supporting state highway 121, which was named by the British as Victoria Jubilee Bridge.Then on, it takes a north-eastward course till it reaches the town of Ajra in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra.
