Shree Krishnamai Temple

Karan Raskar 72 months ago

Small but beautiful temple of Mother Krishna bai- the river goddess. The temple is situated on the banks of Krishna river which flows through sangli. There are several Ghats constructed along the river. The temple is situated on one of these Ghats. The name of this Ghat is Ganpati Ghat. The temple was closed as we visited in afternoon. But we could get a glimpse of the idol of Devi Krishnabai from the grilled gate and managed to click few pictures of the deity. The statue is amazingly beautiful as it is carved from shiny black stone- Kala pashan and the carving is intricate. I wish i could go and see it from close. The deity is in the standing posture and has four arms ,one holding a gada(mace) and another holding a shield. The details of other two hands could not be seen properly from far. The deity has lion as vahan or vehicle(mount). There is a small sabha mandap outside the main garbha grih(gabhara). There is also a Shiva temple near this temple.
