Holy Jyotirlinga

Holy Jyotirlinga is a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is said that the temple is among the five Jyotirlingas situated in the state, which is built by Nana Phadanavis. The Holy Jyotirlinga displays the Nagra style of architecture. It is believed that Lord Shiva resided at the Sahyadri hills in the form of Bhima to kill the Rakshas Tripurasura. After the battle, the sweat of lord is believed to have become the Bhimarathi River.

In the premises of the temple, there is a small Shani Temple and a huge bell displaying the structure of Hemadpanthi, which was also built by Nana Phadanavis. The temple is visited on the eve of Mahashivratri in large number.

The hills of Manmod at a height of around 1,034 m have the carvings of Bhootling, Amba-Ambika and Bhimashanker in the Buddha style. Activities like trekking and birdwatching can be enjoyed at this hill.
