Shree Temblai Mandir - Hindu temple in Kolhapur - Kolhapur, India

Temblai hill is one of the famous spots in Kolhapur. The Temblai temple is located on Temblai hill, which is dedicated to Goddess 'Temblai' or 'Tramboli'. The Goddess 'Temblai' is the sister of Goddess Mahalakshmi. According to hindu mythology Goddess Temlabai helped Goddess Mahalakshmi to fight the demons. But after the victory Goddess Mahalakshmi failed to pay respects to Goddess Temlabai and ignored her and this angered her and so she settled on the hill. The face of Temblai idol is exactly in the opposite direction to the face of Mahalaxmi idol. The idol has four hands and the idol is made of black stone. Every year during the Navratri festival a one day celebration known as "Tramboli Yatra" takes place here. There is another small temple situated on this hill, which is dedicated to Goddess Yamaidevi. Also a huge Idol of "Lord Ganpati" is situated at the centre of the hill; a small garden and beautiful walkway is developed around it. A number of local people come here in the morning or in the evening for walking. Do visit to this temple, you will like it. In the early morning, you can see beautiful Sunrise from here.

On the east of Kolhapur city about three miles from the old city there is a small hill and on this hill is built the temple of Temblai or Tryambuli. The temple is in the old Hemadpanti style and is without any ornate carvings. There is a mandap in front of the main temple. On the same hill there is another temple that is of Margaidevi. The Tryambuli hill is a picturesque spot apart from its religious importance. It is a windswept hill with very few trees. One gets a panoramic view of the sprawling city from the top.

Superb! You can feel close to nature here.. Silent place you can spend more time here

Ancient Hindu Temple. Located on hill and outside of city. Very calm and energetic sacred place. For kids ground available for play and 20 feet Ganpati Idol for enjoying scene. Lot of parking space available. One of the favorite destination of weekend.

I don't know the history. Appears to be pretty old. Should have been taken good care of by Government of Maharashtra. There is no washroom. No clean drinking water supply. No clean hotel within the campus or nearby. Cleanliness is deplorable. Dogs sleep within the temple. Be careful. Just across the road is 109 TA Mahadeo Mandir. Fabulously kept.

This is a good place to visit and hangout with your family and friends . The premise is having Tembalai Temples, which is having beautiful carved temples. This place is also have big Ganapati murti approximately 30 feets in height. This place have sitting arrangement all around from which you can have a good view of the Kolhapur city, especially Pune Bangalore highway areas. This place is usually crowded throughout the year and you can also have good snakes stalls all around.

Nice atmosphere...fill cool ..
