vajreshwari

 this time for the second year design studio we took the students to vajreshwari with its winding tansa river and hot springs, villages struggling against the temple trusts to hold on to their agricultural fields.

Nice Photographs. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. n 1739, Maratha warrior Chimaji Appa attacked Vasai Fort, which belonged to the Portuguese. Before he set out to fight the powerful Europeans, he prayed to Goddess Vajreshwari on the way, and in return for a successful belting of the Christians, he promised to build a grand temple in her honour. After his effective conquest, he fulfilled his promise. There are a few more places to visit Thane like this that you can explore on your trip.
