Temples in Kokan has always been a tourist attraction. With time, the technique is also changing. Now a days its marble, granite and POP as opposed to rocks and limestone during the ancient times. Both techniques have their own beauty. Though, I like the ancient ones.

Mhadkadevi temple, Kasarde, Talere
They say, if you pick up even a single wooden stick from this temple premise (knowingly or unknowingly) and try to move out of the place, you would keep hovering in the area until you throw it away. This temple is situated at a very remote place in Kasarde and is covered by dense forest from all sides.
