Lenyadri (Marathi: लेण्याद्री, Leṇyādri), sometimes called Ganesa Lena, Ganesh Pahar Caves, or Suleman Caves, represents a series of about 30 rock-cut Buddhist caves, located about 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) north of Junnar in Pune district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Other caves surrounding the city of Junnar are: Manmodi Caves, Shivneri Caves and Tulja Caves. Cave 7, originally a Buddhist vihara, has been adapted as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Ganesha. It is one of the Ashtavinayak shrines, a set of the eight prominent Ganesha shrines in Western Maharashtra. Twenty-six of the caves are individually numbered. The caves face to the south and are numbered serially from east to west. Caves 6 and 14 are chaitya-grihas (chapels), while the rest are viharas (dwellings for monks). The latter are in the form of dwellings and cells. There are also several rock-cut water cisterns; two of them have inscriptions. The layout of the caves, in general, are similar in pattern and shape. They generally have one or two sides with two long benches for occupants' use. The caves date from between the 1st and 3rd century AD; the Ganesha shrine situated in Cave 7 is dated to the 1st century AD, though the date of conversion to a Hindu shrine is unknown. All of the caves arise from Hinayana Buddhism. #ganapati #bappa #ganesha #morya #mumbai #ganpati #ganesh #ganeshutsav #ganpatibappamorya #bappamorya #mumbaiganeshutsav #maharashtra #ganpatibappa #lenayadri #bappamajha #mangalmurtimorya #lordganesha #mumbaiganpati #ganapatibappamorya #india #ganeshotsav #bappalover #moryamajha #love #ganeshchaturthi #chintamani #photography #majha #official #sourabhtravels (at Lenyadri Ganesh Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMqVoqpy34/?igshid=awrjs5qdmfug

The Chintamani Temple of Theur is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom. Located 25 km (16 mi) from Pune, the temple is "one of the larger and more famous" of the Ashtavinayaka, the eight revered shrines of Ganesha in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The temple lore describes how Ganesha retrieved the wish-giving jewel Chintamani for his devotee, the sage Kapila from the greedy king Gana and how he pacifies the uneasy mind of the god Brahma, who meditated on him in Theur. The temple is associated with the Ganapatya saint Morya Gosavi (dated between 13th to 17th century). Though the temple is believed to have existed since antiquity, the current structure of the temple was built by him or his descendant. The Chintamani Temple was also a spiritual magnet for the Peshwa rulers, especially Madhavrao I (1745–1772) who renovated and made additions to the temple structure. #chintamani #bappa #mumbai #ganpati #ganpatibappamorya #theurchachintamani #bappamorya #morya #bappamajha #ganesha #astavinayak #ganpatibappa #ganeshutsav #mumbaicharaja #maharashtra #chinchpoklicha #lalbaughcharaja #mumbaiganpati #ganesh #mangalmurtimorya #bappalover #official #ganpatifestival #photography #lalbaugcharaja #chintamanifans #moryamajha #k #vighnaharta #sourabhtravels (at Chintamani Temple, Theur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMn2u3F_9O/?igshid=1ps4z1me2s3dm

Baga is in the state of Goa, on the west coast of India. To many people Baga is an extension of the adjoining town of Calangute and nobody seems to be sure where one ends and the other begins. Calangute (and the area around it, Sinquerim, Baga, Candolim) in the northern section of central Goa is where tourism all started for Goa. From the late 1960s, this was the spot where the flower-children descended. #baga #goa #bagabeach #india #calangute #bag #foodporn #a #anjuna #goadiaries #istanbul #nightlife #goalife #s #lapizzadigeribile #z #kehribar #hediye #kehribarkolye #titoslane #ukur #beach #kehribartesbih #ucakcami #osmanlitesbih #morjim #titosfamily #ate #tesbihcibulentusta #sourabhtravels (at Baga Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHsVAJJeJB/?igshid=1vguv3p7hr262

The Kas Plateau Reserved Forest, also known as the Kaas Pathar, is a plateau situated 25 kilometres west from Satara city in Maharashtra, India. It falls under the Sahyadri Sub Cluster of the Western Ghats, and it became a part of a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2012. It is a biodiversity hotspot known for various types of seasonal wild flowers bloom and numerous species of endemic butterflies annually in the months of August and September. The plateau is situated at an altitude of 1200 metres and is approximately 10 square kilometers in area. Kaas has more than 850 different species of flowering plants.These include orchids, shrubs such as the Karvy, and carnivorous plants such as Drosera Indica. Kaas Pathar is a plateau made from volcanic rocks in the Satara district of Maharashtra, and comes under the biosphere of the Western Ghats. The flora of kaas i.e. the entire flowering plants and their related plants are typically restricted to that particular locality only.This is because the plateau is largely formed of basalt which is directly exposed to atmosphere.The basalt is almost covered entirely by a thin cover of soil formed due to erosion and has accumulated a layer of not more than an inch or so. #kaasplateau #maharashtra #kaasplankje #kaas #cheese #satara #cheeseplatter #ig #kaaspathar #naturephotography #cheeselover #kaasplank #cheeseplate #india #cheeseboard #incredibleindia #sahyadri #kaasje #kaaswiel #justsaycheese #kazen #cheeselovers #incrediblesatara #sataradiaries #nature #wijnenwijnenwijnen #wijnen #bhfyp #strijd #sourabhtravels (at Kass Pathar, Satara) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFJqB9JumS/?igshid=1nj9edwsli2oa

Chichen Itza – Mexico. Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, Mexico. Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion. #chichenitza #mexico #yucatan #travel #cancun #tulum #rivieramaya #playadelcarmen #maya #travelphotography #n #cenotes #islamujeres #visitmexico #xico #holbox #xcaret #photography #mayanruins #quintanaroo #bacalar #travelgram #trip #cozumel #caribe #cenote #yucatanmexico #nature #mayas #sourabhtravels (at Chichén-Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEARm1Sp-g4/?igshid=38cna9cxrr8s
