According to a legend, it goes that a demon called Tripurasura had started harassing innocent people after receiving a boon of immortality from Shiva. To kill the demon, Shiva along with his wife Paravati, took the form of Ardhanarishvara, they killed the demon and restored peace on the land. In the memory of this incident, this shrine came into existence.

The Origin of the Sri Bhimashankar Jyothirlinga
Understanding the Bhimashankar Temple
The temple is situated at the extreme edge of the Sahyadri mountain range as if the Lord himself is keeping a vigil over the mountains. At an altitude of 1034 feet, it offers a magnificent view of the wilderness spread around the area. The temple has a blend of ancient Indo-Aryan architecture and the modern Nagara style adding up to its grandeur. The huge court spaces, intricate carvings on walls, and colossal pillars are important observations. In the vicinity of the temple, one can find a lot of ponds namely the Mokshakunda Teertha, the Sarava Teerth, the Kusharanya Teertha, and the Jyanakunda.
Itinerary
Maharashtra is the major hub for temples. Along with 3 Jyothirlingas, it’s a home for Ashtavinayakas, Shakthi Peetas and the famous Shirdi Sri Sai Baba shrine. A combination circuit would be the most ideal. Have a look to get a picture.

Best time to visit
Maharashtra can be visited year long due to moderate weather. However, one could consider the following, October to February are the best months to visit as the pleasant winters welcome tourists with open hands. March, April & May are the hottest time of the year making it less favorable for outdoor travels. June to September are the monsoon moths and this period is excellent for nature lovers who want to see the state’s lush, green beauty, especially the waterfalls and forests.
