I and my friends visited the Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Temple at
Kolhapur during last year rainy season. Kolhapur was settled by Kolhapur, a demon
who was later killed by Mahalakshmi to relieve the local populace, As per Hindu
Mythology. Honouring the demon's dying wish, the city was named after him. As a
big plan we booked our tickets for to and fro in a train and bus, half of the
journey in bus to solapur and next in the train to kolhapur, as our bus late by
one hour, we waited, and then started to our destiny. We reached solapur and get
down the bus and station is near to the Railway station, later train was on
time and in the morning time we got down by train and as per our plan we called
the secretary of the temple, with his recommendation we got an economy room to stay.
Later we entered into the temple it was historical temple with a glorious sculptures
that with a story based. And we paid for
the pooja and as per tradition of temple we wore dhoti for that pooja and a
condition to enter sanctum sanctorum (garbha gudi).
After
that we went for shopping, we bought some Goddess photos, and then for a lunch,
nearby some more attractions also there, visited Rankala lake and gone for
boating which was good experience for me after a long time. Then we returned to
room, and again we woke up early in the morning and visited temple and some
pooja will be done in morning and we started our fro journey. And that was a wonderful
experience which I got good and helpful information from this site.
