Murud - Janjira

F Murud - Janjira, Maharashtra Beaches

ormerly the capital town of the Siddis of Janjira, Murud is today popular for its alluring beach, whispering casuarinas, coconut and betel palms, and an ancient fort.

On a hillock to the north is the shrine of Lord Dattatraya, the three heads representing Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara.

The 300-years old fort of Janjira is an architectural marvel- once upon a time considered to be impregnable. The palace of the Nawab and the Janjira caves are also a must for the tourist.

And just a few kilometers away are two undiscovered beaches : Nandgaon and Kashid.

Nandgaon is famous for its Ganapati temple and the annual fair held in honour of this elephant headed god every February.

Getting there:

Roha on Konkan Railway is the nearest railhead. Mumbai is 165 kms. by road.
