The food is very Maharashtrian and the mango pickle is worth carrying home. Come night and its the perfect time to pay your respects to the temple. An impressive temple with sculpted structures, pillars and walls. The priest would tell you an interesting story. Alongside the temple there are some small restaurants which serve you all kinds of meals.
Shopping is basically seaside artifacts made of seashells.
But in the summer season you can taste the best of Mangoes, in all shapes and all sizes. The best time to get here is between November and April. Summers can be very hot but you will not mind the heat when you sip some Kokam sherbet. The air at this time, is full of the rich fragrance of the ripe Alphonso Mango and Cashew fruit. The nearest airport is Kolhapur, which is 144 kms away.
