Bamanghal, Hedvi

This spot is about 3 kms from Dashbhuja temple. Behind Uma-Maheshwara temple if you climb a small slope and reach plateau, you can witness a natural wonder. Here a small gorge, a meter broad and 10 meters long has been naturally formed. At high-tide, sea waves rush into this gorge and collide on rocks and a water column of about 15-20 meters rises from this gorge. Listening the thundering noise of waves colliding on rocks and get a sprinkle shower from the rising water column is an experience to cherish.

Nature is always ready to amaze us with its beauty and one such you can see on Hedvi beach in Konkan region of Maharashtra. This beach is situated around 3 km from Hedvi Ganesh temple. With Ganesh temple there is one more temple of Lord Shiva (Uma Maheshwar) on the beach.

Hedvi Ganesh Temple is a very beautiful temple, situated on a small hillock and the statue of Ganesha having 10 arms so it is famous as Dashbhuja Lord Ganesh (10 arms Ganesha).

Its basically a gorge formed due to constant force of tides colliding on rock. This gorge is made of black rocks and around 20-25 feet deep, 30-35 feet long and 2-3 feet wide in dimensions. Rainy season and during the high tides are the best time to see this place as water enters in the gorge and after the collision it makes a big fountain like structure, which may reach up to the height of 10 meters. It’s super fun to witness this.

Word of Caution- Make sure you walk slowly and your shoes have proper grip. Also make sure you are extra cautious visiting this place and do not take any risk and do not try to take any selfies.
