How To Reach Kanakaditya Temple
Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India
Kanakaditya Temple in Kasheli is one of the very few temples in India dedicated to the Sun God, Surya. This 800-year-old temple is a hidden gem of the Konkan region, steeped in history and legend. According to local folklore, the idol of Surya was being transported by sea from the famous Prabhas Pa tan Sun temple in Gujarat during the invasion of Alauddin Khilji in the 13th century. When the boat reached the coast of Kasheli, it mysteriously stopped moving. The boatman, realizing it was a divine sign, left the idol in a cave on the shore. Later, a local devotee named Kanaka dreamt of the idol and, with the help of the villagers, established this temple, giving it the name Kanakaditya. The temple is renowned for its unique wooden architecture and the serene, spiritual vibrations it offers. The idol itself is a masterpiece carved out of black stone, depicting the Sun God in a standing posture with a radiant aura. The temple complex also houses a rare 850-year-old copperplate (Tamrapat) that provides historical evidence of its antiquity. The surrounding village of Kasheli is a peaceful coastal hamlet where time seems to stand still. A visit to the temple is often combined with a trip to the nearby Devghali Beach, which is famous for its rocky cliffs and crashing waves. This site is a must-visit for those who appreciate ancient architecture and the deep-rooted solar worship traditions of India.
