Jyotiba, Hindu temple in Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, India

The temple stands at 3100 feet above sea level on Jyotiba Mountain, surrounded by forested valleys in Maharashtra's western region.

The temple dates back to ancient times when it emerged as a spiritual center dedicated to Jyotiba, an incarnation combining Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh deities.

Three main temples within the complex house Kedarlinga, Kedareshwar, and Ramlinga deities, drawing devotees who perform rituals throughout the religious calendar.

Visitors reach the temple through stone entrance gates, with accommodations available in Wadi Ratnagiri village, which has a population of 5,000 residents.

The black stone idol of Jyotiba holds four objects: a sword, a leaf vessel, a damru drum, and a trident, with Shesha as the divine vehicle.
