Jyotiba

Jyotiba also known as Kedareshwar which is holy site for Hinduism. It is situated 17 km from Kolhapur on one of the Sahyadri hills. From Kolhapur it took around half an hour to reach there and as we have been told already, queue for temple was quite long. The temple was fully covered by Pink colour Gulal. We stand in queue but it was not long wait as queue was moving forward very fast. One of the devotees used to chant loudly for Jyotiba by saying Jyotibachya navan changbhala and others also used to join in chanting. Within a half hour we took the darshan of Jyotiba. The idol of jyotiba is very nice, built in blak stone and when you see it all the attraction goes into Jyotiba’s Eyes. They are having kind of angry but caring look. Head of Jyotiba is covered with traditional pheta and body is covered with traditional cloths. I saved that image in eyes and left the temple.
