Geography & terrain
Velneshwar lies in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra at about 10 m, 200 km from Mumbai and 70 km from Ratnagiri — the quiet beach village of the region, its 13th-century Shivalinga temple, the coconut palms and the sands set on the Konkan coast.
History & culture
The village's story runs with the 13th-century temple era — the quiet beach village of the 13th-century Shivalinga temple and the 20th-century-era fishing life of the Konkan coast, with the village's modern role as the offbeat stop of the Konkan circuit and the home of the temple and the palms and the 2000s-era homestays; the village's history of the 19th-century-era temple worship and the sands, gives Velneshwar its quiet character.
