Revansiddha Temple, Hindu temple in Renavi, Maharashtra, India
Revansiddha Temple sits on a plateau along the Chiplun-Karhad-Bijapur road, built in the architectural style typical of Maharashtra temples. The structure rises from elevated terrain and serves as both a place of worship and a landmark visible across the surrounding landscape.
The temple was built in the 16th century and honors the saint Revan Siddh, a figure connected to Lord Sri Dattatraya. This spiritual link has shaped the sanctuary since its establishment.
During Mahashivratri, devotees gather here to collect white crystals from the surrounding mountain for use in religious ceremonies. This practice connects the natural landscape directly to the spiritual life of visitors.
The temple sits about 500 meters (0.3 mi) from Renavi village and is accessible by road from several directions. Comfortable shoes are recommended since reaching the plateau involves some uphill walking.
The surrounding mountain displays soil of varying colors and once contained 84 holy sites, of which six remain today. These include a gomukh and two haranyak, spiritual locations that reveal the layered history of this hill region.
