Salav, near Alibaug- a quiet coastal village, where the river Kundalika goes meandering by and where the land meets the silvery sea. On this idyllic Konkan terrain, a long cherished dream has been realised.
One facet of the dream- A modern industrial plant, enhancing the country's economic growth.
The other facet- The dream of Shri Aditya Vikram Birla, the making of Shree Vikram Vinayak Mandir.
Atop a gentle hillock, overlooking the shimmering sea bolow, rises this temple, bringing together the dieties from the different corners of our vast land. Durga, Radha- Krishna, Shiv- Parvati and Surya Narayan- all gathered around the central presence of Lord Ganesha.
Shree Vikram Vinayak Mandir - exquisitely crafted in white marble, adorned with a geodesic dome and fronted by a space frame, is an elegant fusion of Eastern architectural heritage and Western engineering principles.
Shri Vikram Vinayak Mandir- a beacon calling out those in search of the spiritual, a refuge for worship and meditation, a heaven of peace and serenity; a sanctuary for those in search of their inner self; a tryst with the religious and the uplifting.
Here, at Salva, a meeting ground of the Gods. |
