Guhagar History: |
|
| |
When
God Parshuram donated whole world he realized that no land was left for him to stay. He used his archery & made the sea to recede hundreds of miles away. The Land thus created is known as Guhagar. Guhagar means land inhabited by
Intellectual, Guhagar means land protected by
Swami Kartikeya. Guhagar means place where Lord Shiva
had remained hidden. Guhagar means land full of heards of cows.
10 K.m. long Guhagar land starts from Creek of
Vashishta River at Anjanvel Fort till Bhatgao Bridge on Rai Creek of Shashtri River. Natural beauty, forts, caves, ancient temples, roaring
sea, harbours, light houses etc. are worth watching here.! |
