Krishnabai Temple
कृष्णाबाई मंदिर
A small stone temple built on a cliff edge in 1888, dedicated to the goddess of the Krishna River, with views over the Krishna valley.
The Krishnabai Temple was built in 1888 by the ruler of Ratnagiri and is made entirely of black basalt. It is dedicated to the goddess of the Krishna River, and inside are a Shiva lingam and a cow-headed water spout, while the stone colonnade in front is carved with intricate patterns. Set on a cliff edge, the temple is quiet and uncrowded, with views over the Krishna valley, making it a treasure for photographers. It is about a 10-minute uphill walk from the Panchganga Temple, and entry is free.
