Location

Kolisare- Laxmi-Keshav Mandir

In addition one temple of Lord Ratneshwar (form of Lord Shiva) is also there in the same premises. A continuous spring of water is the prime attraction of the visitors.
Kolisare is not only famous for its natural beauty but also famous from spiritual point of view. A temple of Lord Laxmi-Keshav is situated at Kolisare & is a Kuldaivat (for many Maharashtrain families). The temple is at a height 2000 feet height from the sea level. Before 1200 years “Rashtrkul” family was ruling over Marathwada region of Maharashtra.
All family members were devotees of Lord Vishnu & they had constricted many beautiful temples. Due to attacks of Mughals, many deities were immersed into the water for protection. Such one deity is immersed into the “Rankal Lake” near Kolhapur. The same deity is installed at Laxmi-Keshav Temple Kolisare. The ceremony was took place in the year 1510. The deity is the example of rich ancient Indian sculpture. The height of the deity is around 5 feet with all the ornaments & weapons.

Aare-ware twin Beache

From Ganapatipule there is a shorter route to Ratnagiri (22km) via Bhandarpule. This is an amazing route with the vast expanse of the sea on onside of the road. The twin beaches of Aare & Ware are on this stretch of road. Ware is first beach that you would come across while traveling from Ganapatipule & Are is at a distance of a kilometer from here.
Both these beaches are very secluded with white sand & the views from certain points up the hill here with sea on three sides of the point is simply breathe taking.
