Brahma Mandir (Temple) Maharashtra - Travel log (Tighare) By Abir Maheshwari

Brahma Brahman - Travel log

Hearing the stories from childhood about supreme trinity, visiting Vishnu temple, Shiv Mandirs, worshiping the Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, and others was the cultural influence. But somewhere the worship seemed to be incomplete. There was a question stuck always in the mind, where is brahma, why the god of supreme knowledge and the creator can't be seen in any temple or at home been worshiped. This curiosity took us in the search of brahma temples. Resources like internet and public contact lead us to some spots near mumbai. The recent spot we visited on 19th of june 2016, Sunday. Which are situated in the Palghar dist. of Maharashtra near Mumbai. The place named kelwe and saphale are the neighbouring villages. And both are well rich in biodiversity and history too.

The place named kelwe which is also famous for its sea beach, have a temple of Lord Brahma. A small temple which was approximately 300 years ago built by Shri Satguru Padmanabh, as said by the locals. It was rebuilt in the year 1995 by the villagers of the village named Tighre in which the temple is situated. A small idol of one faced Brahma sitting on lotus and accompanied by Goddess of wisdom - Saraswati who is also wife of Lord Brahma. The temple also has idols of Lord ganesh and Shiv Lingam. The biggest festival of this temple is on the Solar Month of vaishakh, on 12th day of shukla paksha.
