The Bhawani Mandap in Kolhapur holds the ancient and revered temple of Mahalakshmi, lovingly called as Ambabai.
Initially Built in the 7 th Century AD and then re built on several occasions especially by the Shilaharas of western India this temple of Black granite is trult beautiful. It has a wooden Mandap , perhaps built in the 18th century.
Pictures say it better than words and hence I put up some pictures of the Bhawani Mandap and the Ambabai temple.

Very beautiful old temple, such intricate stone work. I have visited India, but not Goa.
