On 3rd Feb we (Me and Dhiraj) visited Omkareshwar temple.
Omkareshwar Temple was constructed during the tenure of Sadashivrao Bhau on the banks of the Mutha river. It is well known for its massive stone structure which survived the floods of Panshet (1962). This temple also hosts the Samadhi of "Chimaji Appa Peshwa" (Elder brother of First Bajirao Peshwa) and his wife who sacrificed her life after Chimaji Appa's death in 1737. This tradition is calles as "Sati" in India.
