Day 2

Two of the famous Ashtavinayakas are situated around Junnar. Shri Vigneshwara temple is at Ozar, about 27 km from Junnar. Sri Girijatmaka temple is at Lenyadri, is about 20 km from Junnar, off the Junnar-Malshej route. As the name suggests, it’s located inside a cave carved on top of a hill. There are steps leading to the temple. We returned via Malshejghat (35 km from Lenyadri) and Kalyan to Mumbai. Since it was pouring heavily when we passed Malshej we couldn’t enjoy the numerous waterfalls on the way. We were not prepared to get drenched like the many families we saw on the road.
