Malvan : Malvan is a town in Sindhudurg
District, the southernmost district of Maharashtra. This culturally and
historically important town is a Taluka place in Sindhudurg District. Malvan
taluka consists of villages Aangnechi wadi, Achra, Khalchi Devli, Jamdul, Juva,
Pankhol and Sarjekot. Malvan is wellknown for its historical monument, the
Sindhudurg fort, which is beautiful and vast in area. Malwani Folk are very
hardworking and helpful. The main occupation here is fishing. The staple diet
of Malvani people is fish and rice.It is also known for its variety of mangos
(Malvani Hapus - Alphonso). Sweets such as Malvani Khaja (Made from Gram -
besan flour and coated jaggery) and Malvani Ladoos are famous across the
state.A very important part of Malavni culture is a Malvani Dashavtar, a
drama-play based on mythological stories. There are many interesting
places to visit in Malvan and this can be noticed with the recent
increase in forieng visitors to this region.
Camp Fire in the Night
Bharadi devi : Bharadi Devi(goddess) is one goddess one just can't think of missing when one is in Malvan. This is the famous “active goddess” situated at Anganewadi, 14 kms from Malvan. Angnewadi is the small hamlet of Masure village. The Bharadi devi (goddess) is very famous for her wish-fulfilling power. Devotees express their wish before her and once the wish is fulfilled they come to express their gratitude.
Bharadi devi
Tarkarli Beach : Tarkarli is a narrow stretch of beach with pristine
waters, located at the convergence of the Karli River and the Arabian Sea. This
place has gained prominence because of its transparently clear seas, where on a
fairly sunny day, one can see the sea- bed up to a depth of 20 feet. This beach
can be rightly called as ‘Queen Beach’ of Sindhudurg. Sea and sand blending in
enchanting natural harmony, gracefully cruising boats in calm and cool river
waters add to the beauty of this beach.
Tarkarli Beach
Kunkeshwar Temple : Kunkeshwar Temple, an ancient Shiva
Temple is located in Kunkeshwar village, 14 Kms from Devgad town. A pristine
beach with a very long stretch of seashore and white sand adds to the beauty of
temple surroundings.
Kunkeshwar Temple
Rameshwar : Some destinations own such
historical peculiarities which sets them apart from other ones. Place named
Achara is one of them. It’s a small village in Malvan Taluka. We are all aware
that in historical times people were gifted with “Inams, Jagirs or Watan(land)”
by kings or emperors for their achievements. Achara too is Inam or Jagir, but
it’s owner or Inamdar (landowner) is not a layman. Chhatrapati Shambhu Raje of
Kolhapur gave this Inam to Shri Dev Rameshwar ( i.e. Lord Shiva). Achara boasts
the historical temple of Lord Shiva, popularly known as ‘inamdar Shri Dev
Rameshwar’ Architecture of the temple is grand and spectacular.
Rameshwar Temple
Parshuram Temple : In this village(Achara) there is a well
known temple of Bhagwan Parshuram because of it this village got this name.
Tourists who want to enjoy natural beauty of this area should reserve some time
during the trip.
People here used to know time from the sound from cannon. This temple is an excellent example of ancient sculpture. The atmosphere of this temple fascinates everyone. Calm and beautiful nature and idol of Parshuram made up of black stone and other idols charming appearance take us in different world. The building of this temple is also an excellent example of architecture.

Vijay-Durg (pic Courtesy Internet)
The oldest fort on Sindhudurg coast constructed in the
regime of Raja Bhoj of shilahar dynasty in 1205 (construction period
1193-1205). The fort was earlier known as "Gheria" as it is situated
in the village "Girye. The earlier fort encompassed area of 5 acres and
was surrounded by sea on all the 4 sides. Over the years the eastern trench was
reclaimed and the road was constructed theron. Presently the area of fort is
about 17 acres and is surrounded by Arabian sea on its three sides. (1 acre=
4840 sq yards).
The Architectural marvel:
1) The 200m long, undersea/underland tunnel from the fort to the Dhulap’s palatial house in the village is man-made. The roof of the tunnel has been pinched to protect it from land-slides and it is also well ventilated. Now the tunnel is partially blocked. Using latest technology if this tunnel is cleared it will be a major tourist attraction and will be of great help for architectural students/history lovers.
2) The fencing compound wall constructed at 8-10 m depth undersea, 300ft from the fort is another architectural wonder. The wall constructed with laterite stones is 122 mtr long, 3 mtr high & 7 mtr in breadth. Majority of attacking ships met their watery grave after colliding on this wall as this wall is not visible above the sea level.
