Parshuram Temple

Parshuram Temple stands on a hill above Chiplun, one of the town's most important pilgrimage sites. The temple is dedicated to Parashurama, the warrior-sage whose legend is deeply tied to the Konkan coast.

The setting is part of the appeal. Visit early or late for cooler weather and better views over the surrounding hills and river country.

A story
Konkan tradition strongly associates Parshuram with the creation of the coastal strip. That makes this hill temple more than a local shrine; it ties Chiplun to one of the region's foundation stories.
