Velneshwar
North
of the Shastri river lies the idyllic village of Velneshwar.
The quite, coconut-fringed beach offers the visitor the ideal opportunity for
swimming or just relaxing.
There is an old Shiva temple in the environs which is often frequented by pilgrims.
Velneshwar is the focus of attention once a year in March, when the Maha Shivaratri
fair is held in honour of the God Shankar or Shiva.
