My TripAdvisor Review No.121: Lord Suvarnaganesha Temple, Diveagar, District Raigad, Maharashtra.

“Golden Ganesh Idol not restored.”

Reviewed 17 September 2015NEW

The Lord Suvarna Ganesh temple is located at Diveagar village which is about 20 km from Shrivardhan. This temple was earlier famous for its golden Ganesh idol which was stolen a few years back. The thieves were nabbed but the idol had already been melted for its gold. It has still not been restored.

When we visited in August 2015 the temple was under renovation, but we were allowed to enter and pay our respects to the omnipresent Lord Ganesh. After all it is a question of faith, and we felt the presence of the Lord in the calm and serene surroundings. There was a stone idol of the deity instead of the original golden one.

Diveagar is a quaint, clean and peaceful fishing village, but is fast becoming a tourist destination for its beautiful beaches and natural rustic surroundings. Earlier the temple was the main attraction here.

My TripAdvisor Review No.119: Rane Bandhu Khanaval, Diveagar, Konkan, Maharashtra.

“Excellent Konkani Seafood”

Reviewed 13 September 2015NEW

We had driven down from Harihareshwar to Diveagar along the beautiful coastal road and decided to stop for lunch before heading back. But there seemed to be a dearth of good stand-alone seafood restaurants, and most of the good hotels refused to serve walk-in guests. Finally one hotel manager suggested that we visit this place called ‘Rane Bandhu Khanaval’, for a meal.

We found the restaurant in a lane behind the Ganesh Mandir, and it looked like a shack by the roadside. However, unlike the nearby hotels, they were quite ready and willing to serve us without pre-ordering. The place was neat and clean inside, and they even had a good washroom behind.

We ordered the Surmai Plate which consisted of a big piece of fried Surmai fish, 3 chapattis, prawns curry, rice and papad. Rice and curry was available in unlimited quantities. The food was prepared in Konkani style and was very tasty. Their solkadi drink was tangy and refreshing too.

Service was quick and courteous, and the prices reasonable. I would definitely dine here again if I happen to pay another visit to Diveagar.
