The
gorgeous beach village of Ganapatipule
in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra
is amongst the virgin beaches on the
Konkan coast. The pristine air, the
blue waters, the golden sands and
the emerald pastures add to the beauty
of the holy land of Ganapatipule.
The locals believe that Ganapatipule
is blessed. They say that in an age
when men were devout and miracles
were the norm, the scriptures talked
of four Dwardatas (welcoming deities)
to the sub-continent, and they marked
Ganapatipule as the western deity. |
