| North of the Shastri River lies the idyllic village of
Velneshwar. The quiet, coconut-fringed beach offers the visitor the ideal
opportunity for swimming or just relaxing . There is an old Shiva temple in the
environs which is often frequented by pilgrims. Velneshwar is the focus of
attention once a year in March, when the Maha Shivratri Fair is held in honour
of the god Shankar or Shiva. |
