Trip to Tulapur

Right from Alandi we continued our journey to Tulapur. There is something special about Tulapur. Chatrapathi Shivaji's brother Sambaji was killed at Tulapur. There is one temple called Sangameshwar Temple in Tulapur on the banks of a river. I hope that the river is Indrayani. People say two rivers join at this juncture during monsoon and one can see the mixing of two different color waters at this point. Since we went in December we could notice anything. Infact the water was dirty and stagnant as anyone would expect.

The temple is owned and maintained by Nergudkar family in Mumbai. It will be a good place to go with your family and spend some hours having snacks and playing around in the small garden. There is one refreshment stall there. You will not lunch or something like that, but you will definitely get some snacks. Boating facility is also available there.

Direction to reach Tulapur is very simple. Reach Alandi village first and ask anyone about Tulapur village. Sangameshwar temple is a just immediate left cut after you see the tulapur village green name board.

  2. Yes Sambhaji (Shivaji's son) was killed here. Shivaji also had elder brother called 'Sambhaji' but he was deceived by Afzalkhan and killed.
