点评:Maharashtra is home to the renowned three and a half Shakti Peethas, prominent seats of the Hindu Goddess Shakti. These sacred temples hold immense cultural and spiritual significance:
Mahalakshmi Temple, Kolhapur
Tulja Bhavani Temple, Tuljapur (Dharashiv district)
Renuka Temple, Mahur (Matripur) (Nanded district)
Saptashrungi Temple, Vani (Nashik district) – recognized as a "half" Shakti Peeth of Goddess Shakti.
I had the privilege of visiting the Tulja Bhavani Temple in Tuljapur during December, as the Goddess is our Kuldevi. For those planning to visit, Tuljapur is easily accessible from Solapur. Here’s some helpful travel information:
Nearest airport: Pune.
By train: From Pune, there are two routes:
Pune to Solapur
Pune to Osmanabad
By road:
From Solapur, Tuljapur is about 45 km.
From Osmanabad, Tuljapur is approximately 25 km.
State transport buses are available for these routes.
I personally traveled from Mumbai to Solapur by train and then took a bus from Solapur to Tuljapur.
In Tuljapur, you will find many hotels for accommodation. The temple itself is vast, and for darshan in the regular line, you may need at least 1.5 hours. While there is a VIP line for quicker access, I prefer the regular line. Personally, I believe paid darshan should be abolished. God's blessings are universal, and there should be equality for all devotees in seeking darshan.
Additionally, I strongly advocate for the provision of a separate line for physically handicapped individuals and senior citizens to ensure their comfort and ease during the pilgrimage. Such a facility would reflect the true spirit of compassion and inclusivity that temples should uphold.
The best time to visit Tuljapur is during the winter season (November to February) when the weather is pleasant, making the journey and darshan experience more comfortable.
Mobile phones are allowed inside the temple, and there are designated areas outside the temple to safely leave your shoes.
翻译:马哈拉施特拉邦是著名的三座半沙克提神庙的所在地,是印度教女神沙克提的显赫宝座。这些神圣的寺庙具有巨大的文化和精神意义:
马哈拉克什米神庙,科尔哈普尔
图尔贾巴瓦尼神庙,图尔贾普尔(达拉希夫区)
雷努卡神庙,马胡尔(马特里普尔)(南德区)
萨普特什龙吉神庙,瓦尼(纳西克区)——被认为是女神沙克提的“半座”沙克提神庙。
我有幸在 12 月参观了图尔贾普尔的图尔贾巴瓦尼神庙,因为女神是我们的库尔德维。对于那些计划参观的人来说,从索拉普尔可以轻松到达图尔贾普尔。以下是一些有用的旅行信息:
最近的机场:浦那。
乘火车:从浦那出发,有两条路线:
浦那到索拉普尔
浦那到奥斯马纳巴德
乘公路:
从索拉普尔到图尔贾普尔约 45 公里。
从奥斯马纳巴德到图尔贾普尔约 25 公里。
这些路线都有国家交通巴士。
我个人从孟买乘火车到索拉普尔,然后从索拉普尔乘公共汽车到图尔贾普尔。
在图尔贾普尔,你会发现很多酒店可供住宿。寺庙本身很大,如果要乘坐普通线路朝拜,你可能需要至少 1.5 小时。虽然有 VIP 线路可以更快到达,但我更喜欢普通线路。就我个人而言,我认为应该废除付费朝拜。上帝的祝福是普遍的,所有寻求朝拜的信徒都应该平等。
此外,我强烈主张为身体残疾的个人和老年人提供单独的线路,以确保他们在朝圣期间的舒适和轻松。这样的设施将体现寺庙应秉持的真正同情和包容精神。
游览图尔贾普尔的最佳时间是冬季(11 月至 2 月),此时天气宜人,旅途和朝觐体验更加舒适。
寺庙内允许使用手机,寺庙外有指定区域,可安全脱鞋。
