The untold history of Harihareshwar

Not too long ago, devout families would only come to Harihareshwar to pay a visit to the historical Harihareshwar temple. Situated near the flowing waters and the lush green banks, the temple would resuscitate the devotees and fill their hearts with serenity.

Others would come here to perform rituals and pray for their departed members. Considered to be a sacred spot by the Hindus, the town was seen as the last destination of a man’s journey.

Large groups of people would come to bid adieu to the lost souls, stop by at one of the expendable guest rooms, and hit the road to get back to reality after catching a few winks. Over time, these familial groups warmed up to Harihareshwar and slowly surrendered to the surreal sunsets and the never-seen-before blue waters offered by the place.

Once hailed for its sanctity exclusively, Harihareshwar is today responsible for helming a large part of Maharashtra’s ecotourism. Friends, work colleagues, and couples – not just families – have begun to see Harihareshwar as their first choice for a holiday destination.

Come rain or shine; Harihareshwar’s ambience never disappoints its guests!

Explore Harihareshwar

Harihareshwar, a secluded little cove on the coast of Maharashtra, is best known as the tropical beach town, surrounded by three hills and bordered by the magnificent Arabian Sea.

One of the cleanest beach towns in India, Harihareshwar houses the most astonishing of all sanctuaries. The intricate, carved temples that rise from the shores of the Arabian Sea are not meant merely as places to pray. They are meant to inspire awe – awe of humankind’s own capacity and that of nature itself.

Unlike Goa’s and Mumbai’s beaches, which are crowded with people and littered with rubbish, Harihareshwar is untainted and serene. The beach is clean, the water blue; the weather is warm, the place inviting, too.

In other words, Harihareshwar is heavenly!
