Ghogara Mahadev Temple — Attraction in Maharashtra

A very nice place for one-day family trip on Pench river. This place has rock formations which have been formed by erosion of river water which flows thru these rocks giving them a familiar look to Bhedaghat of Jabalpur but this is a mini version of it. There is a small temple of Lord Shiva (that is why it is named Ghogara Mahadev) on top of the rocks.

There are many spots for taking selfies and photos. You can explore the place by climbing over the rocks which have some small cave like formations. Do not try to get down or jump in the water between these rocks as they are very deep and one may drown in it. You can play in the river which has shallow flowing streams. Kids will like it the most.

On the river bank there are food shacks run by local villagers selling tasty jhunka bhakar, chivda, bhel, cold drinks, tea, bottled water, etc. You can sit in the shacks and have your own food too provided you buy something to eat or drink from them. Temporary changing rooms have also been set up for ladies which is a good thing.

An ideal setting for a family picnic, it provides the perfect opportunity for quality time together. Explore an array of stalls presenting delectable Jhunka Bhakri. Moreover, relish the convenience of partaking in refreshing tea and coffee on-site. Despite the religious significance of the site as a temple, it is disheartening to witness the pervasive plastic litter tarnishing the surroundings, a consequence of irresponsible visitor behavior. Understanding the importance of preserving the sanctity of the temple premises by refraining from littering is crucial for all individuals.

HISTORY OF GHOGRA MAHADEV TEMPLE : It has a mysterious history with legends attributing its construction to the Pandavas or the Satavahanas. However, the most probable origin is linked to the Gonds, a tribal community in central India known for building Shiva temples. Despite uncertain beginnings, the temple attracts Hindus nationwide as a powerful pilgrimage site, believed to bestow blessings of good health, wealth,...
