Chronicles & Devotion
The untold history of Harihareshwar
“Dakshin Kashi, a sacred sanctuary transformed into Maharashtra's serene ecotourism jewel.”
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 a sacred spot by Hindus, the town was seen as the last destination of a man's journey. Over time, these familial groups warmed up to Harihareshwar and slowly surrendered to the surreal sunsets and 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!

What is present day Harihareshwar like?
Think you have seen all the colours of nature? Harihareshwar will astonish you!
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, it houses some of the most astonishing sanctuaries: intricate, carved temples that rise from the shores of the Arabian Sea, meant to inspire 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!
Here, the pristine blue waters and rich green cover will fill your heart with wonder. This red earth town offers an escape for you and your special ones while presenting plenty of opportunities to pamper yourself with a rejuvenating retreat of beaches, bazaars, and a buzz that fill your soul and complete your vacation.
