Jyotiba Devasthan is closed. But you get Darshan from a small window in the gate... Pandits are standing near gate to do pooja and take thalis.... But the drive to the Temple is amazing with clouds coming down, mist and twining roads....Very beautiful drive

A great place to visit for jotiba darshan and to enjoy natures beauty on hilltop.

Its a beautiful temple of Lord Jyotiba on the top of Jyotiba Hill. Its a mini hill station. The temple is big and located at a beautiful spot. Theres rush here on weekends and on special occasions. Parking space is available for vehicles at a distance away from the temple, from where you have to walk to the temple. The staff is kind and helpful. You can also enter the main temple inside for doing Abhishek. Its very well managed, so that all people can get Darshan properly. There are many shops near the temple from where you can buy all the essentials required for Darshan.The temple is kept very clean by the staff. There are 2-3 ways by which you can climb the Jyotiba Hill. Roads to the top of hill are very good and view from the top is just amazing. In monsoons, all the mountain ranges are lush green and look beautiful. There are trees around where you can sit in the shade and have lunch with your family. Very nice place. Must visit.Thank You.

I would like to visit this temple once more. Its the peace that you get after visiting the temple that pulls all again. The temple is full of this pink powder called GULAAL. The temple looks amazing and it makes the floor so cool. Newly married couples are said to visit this temple just after their marriage day. It brings in greater bonding and understanding between the couples. Attached some pics from the temple.

Peaceful place along with temple there is scenic beauty. But its crowded

Lord Jyotibas temple is situated on the mountain near to Ratnagiri. Locals believe that it is the incarnation of Gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Jyotiba is also known as dakhhancha raaja (दख्खनचा राजा).The grand yearly fair takes place on the occasion of, full moon day of Chaitra (चैत्र पौर्णिमा) month.This whole temple and pilgrims get covered with gulal(गुलाल), pilgrims spread and play with gulal by chanting jyotibachya naavn chaang bhal(ज्योतिबाच्या नावानं चांग भलं)..

One of the oldest temple of maharashtra situated in the Kolhapur. When thought about kolhapur comes into mind then Jotiba temple is symbolic sign of Kolhapur. Millons of people come here in year to show their devotions towards God Jyotiba. There is another interesting part that people trow coconuts and Gulal to the temple. Always rush here. During the April here is big festival called Jyotibachi Jatra wether around temple is dry and there is some trees. Travelling on mountain by Bus gives great experience.

Great Experience..Parking available.Jyotiba Temple, Kolhapur OverviewThe beautiful temple of Kolhapur, known as the Jyotiba Temple lies near the village of Ratnagiri in Maharashtra. The temple is constantly laden with rang which translates to colour, implying the colour used to play Holi. This is because the gulal is offered to Lord Jyotiba as a token of sincerity by the pilgrims. The glorious temple is built for Lord Jyotiba as its name suggests, who was believed to be an embodiment of three different deities. It is believed that this temple should be visited after visiting the Mahalaxmi Temple. Standing 3124 feet above sea level, the view from the temple is beautiful and breathtaking. The serene environment along with the divinity of the structure gives a feeling of peace and calm to all the pilgrims and visitors.Jyotiba Temple was constructed by Ranoji Shinde in the year 1730. The striking temple is believed to be approximately 55 feet in length, 37 feet in width and 77 feet in height. The interior is elegant and straightforward while the exterior includes a long flight of stairs that pilgrims need to climb to reach the main temple. This climb is of about 100 steps and is lined with some shops. The shops vary from ones selling coconuts and flowers, to ones that sell CDs and pictures of Lord Jyotiba.The most prominent festival of this magnificent temple is celebrated in the Hindu months of Chaitra and Vaisakha. They occur on the full moon night during this month, thereby being named Chaitra Poornima. This is the annual festival when all the devotees throw and play with gulal. The entire hill of the Jyotiba Temple is then covered with gulal, making it a beautiful sight and a great festival to experience.Time Required: 1-2 hrsTimings: 5:30 AM - 10:30 PMEntry Fee: No entry fee
