Shri Bhadrakali Temple
Shri Bhadrakali Temple was established around 400 years ago in the honour of Goddess Bhadrakali who is considered to be the resident deity of Revandi. The serene temple, located on the coast of the Arabian sea, is surrounded by lush greenery. Tourists are, therefore, drawn to the temple for its simplicity and beauty.
Shri Jarimari Temple
Shri Jarimari Temple has quite a religious importance in the region. Locals believe that a farmer happened to cut to stone in three pieces while ploughing, but soon noticed blood streaming out of the stones. He preserved the pieces, built a small dome-like structure around it and started worshipping the stones. Later on, the temple was extended and a deity of Lord Durga was installed.
Shri Sateri Temple
Shri Sateri Temple is a 12th century temple dedicated to the village deity, Goddess Sateri. The temple was constructed in the middle of a water body which no longer exists. The temple is believed to be built over an anthill that erupted a blood-like liquid when struck by two buffaloes who had come by the lake to drink water._
Shri Wageshwar Temple
Shri Wageshwar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to a local legend, a mariner found a Shivalinga while angling. A few days later, the area where the Shivalinga was found was raised, and the land was exposed. The locals thus decided to build a temple and preserve the region's ecology, which often had tigers visiting. Though several tigers were spotted, they never attacked the humans. Hence, the name Wageshwar Temple.
Sindhudurg Fort
Located off the coast of Maharashtra, the Sindhudurg Fort is an ancient fortress occupying an islet in the Arabian Sea. This imposing construction is spread over an area of 48 acres, with its massive walls standing tall against the crashing waves of the sea. The main entrance of the fort is hidden away in such a manner that no one can identify it from the outside. The Sindhudurg Fort is a tangible example of the Maratha foresight and resourcefulness. Not only is this mighty fort a historically significant attraction, but the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape makes it a popular tourist spot. Protruding right from the midst of the mighty Arabian Sea, this fort makes up for a delightfully charming sight. Its rich historical background only adds to the experience of this place.
Built by none other than Chhatrapati Shivaji, the construction of Sindhudurg Fort utilizes the natural protection of the surrounding rocks to their advantage. With its solid walls and conspicuous gateways, this fort is a fascinating piece of history which makes it a favourite tourist spot. Perhaps one of the reasons why this magnificent fort has managed to stand the test of time would be its unique and unyielding construction style. The foundation of the mighty building was laid down in the lead, and the natural protection provided by the surrounding rocks acted as an impregnable barrier against any enemy forces. Sindhudurg Fort also has 42 bastions, which still stand tall and is surrounded by several smaller forts such as the Padmagad, Rajkot and Sarjekot Fort. A small temple dedicated to the Chhatrapati also finds a place within the bounds of the fort.
