History
The Krishna River is said to have its source at Krishnabai Temple. A monarch of Ratnagiri constructed the shrine on a steep mountainside in the Krishna valley in 1888. A Shiv lingam and a lovely sculpture of Deity Krishna may be found at the temple. Some legends even say that this spot has been holistic and worshiped for as long as 1000 years as well.
Architecture
The monument's unique features include rock-carved pillars and domes. The Krishna basin and nearby farmland are also visible from the temple. A tiny, well-marked path leads to Krishnabai temple, which is located beside Panch Ganga temple. The Krishnabai Temple's structure and embellishments are worth photographing. It's calm and relaxing. Fortunately, this shrine has escaped urbanization's vengeance.
