300 years old and running, with the most perfect mix of Hindu and Muslim architectural styles, the Parashuram temple in Chiplun is dedicated to the 6th incarnation of the Hindu deity.
The temple houses 3 idols and is surrounded by stone walls. Behind the temple is another shrine built for Goddess Renuka, Parashuram's mother. Legend goes that the Bandganga lake at this site was created after Parashuram shot five arrows into the land.
