Junnar is not just the land of brave warriors; it is a sacred destination for thousands of devotees seeking the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Home to two of the eight Ashtavinayak temples, Junnar offers a unique spiritual energy.
If you are planning a pilgrimage, Shivjanmabhumi Resort serves as your perfect peaceful retreat, located right in the heart of this divine circuit.
1. Lenyadri: The Hillside Abode of Girijatmak
Located just a short drive from our resort, Lenyadri is one of the most unique temples in India.
The Temple: It is the only Ashtavinayak shrine situated in a Buddhist cave.
The Journey: A climb of roughly 300 stone steps leads you to the cave, offering a meditative atmosphere and a panoramic view of the Junnar valley.
The Deity: The idol of Lord Girijatmak is carved directly into the rock wall of the cave.

2. Ozar: The Radiant Vigneshwar
A short, scenic drive in the opposite direction brings you to Ozar, the temple of Lord Vigneshwar.
The Temple: Known for its stunning golden dome and high stone walls, this temple sits beautifully on the banks of the Kukadi River.
The Significance: Devotees visit here to pray for the removal of obstacles (Vighna). The temple's spacious courtyard and traditional Deepstambhs (lamp towers) create a sense of deep calm.

Why Shivjanmabhumi Resort is the Preferred Choice for Pilgrims
