Sant Darshan Museum Hadshi — Attraction in Maharashtra

Sant Darshan Museum is located in Hadshi Village which is just opposite to the Shri Satya Sai Pandurang Kshetra. We visited Hadshi temple in the morning and then visited this Museum, which is must visit place along with Hadshi Panduranga temple.

Sant Darshan Museum in Hadshi has been constructed in 2017 by Ganesh Art's. This museum has around 1200 sculptures of various Hindu deities and saints. Big statue of Ganesha, Shiva Parvathi, Sai Baba, Vittal Maharaj, Sant Namdev, Sant Tukaram and Shivaji Statue are main attraction of this Museum .

This museum is made in the shape of om and tunnel type of walk way is made for visitors to walk through to visit inside sculptures. Fiirst after entering into the museum we will start visit with the big Gansh statue on the right wall of the tunnel and just ahead of Ganesha there is artificially made waterfall and below it Lord Brahma statue is beautifully prepared. After having Darshan of Brahma, moving further one can see long life size Shiva Parvathi sculpture and Big Nandi in front of the same. I liked this statue much compare to all other sculptures. After this there are many small and medium size sculptures and then next mesmerized place is Lord Vittal with following Devotees group, which is made so natural. Once we come out of the tunnel there is Sri Krishna statue surrounded by Cows group in the open area. this is the area where one can see biggest Statue of this Museum which is of Lord Sai Baba. next to it there is one more artificial water fall, which is not so interesting. There is Shivaji Statue on the right to the fall and opposite to Shivaji Statue there is a Children's play area with Motu Patlu, Dora, and Superman statues along with some artificial animals. This is the last point of this museum and then you will reach to starting point from other gate.

Biggest Statue of this museum is Sai baba statue which is 30 feet high and one can see the same from main road as well. The next big statue is Shiva Parvati Sculpture which is 15 feet tall.

A memorable visit to this very very beautiful and energetic place situated in the heart of the nature, 30 kms away from the Pune City. You can reach this place via Motorcycle 🏍️ or 🚗🛻. The road is narrow and care should be taken specially during rainy season as it makes the road slippery. The place is made holy by the touch of Shree Satyasaibaba from the Puttaparthy, during his visit long back in 2009. The nature's view is amazing showing the fog and clouds 🌨️ ☁️ all around touching the heads of the surrounding mountains. The place has very beautiful Vitthhal Rukhmini Temple on the first floor and Sai Baba temple below this. This place offers very enjoyable children's outdoor and indoor play activities as well as paddle boat ⛵ 🚢 safari. The activities ranges from roap adventure upto moto bike riding. All are paid activities. The cost is on the higher side.

In front of the temple, you must have to visit the museum, which is also paid entry of Rs 200/- for adults above 10years of age and Rs 100/- below 10 years of age. The museum is really good showing the ancient till present picture and development with the help of various pictures and sculptures of famous Saints and the Persons and various events. There is big statue 🗽 of Saibaba and Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Balgangadhar Tilak, Sant Dhyaneshwar mauli etc.

Children's will definitely enjoy with the artificial water 💦🌊 fall and the famous hero statues along with green grass made elephant 🐘 horse 🐎 snail 🐌 lion 🦁 and Motu and Patlu.

I love this place to visit and experience the beuty of...
