Shree Kavnai Tirth – Kapildhara Tirth
Kavnai Tirth is 15 km from Igatpuri. It was a very important place in history.
The kumbh mela officialy starts from this place. It is believed that by Adeesh from Shri Swami Samartha Maharaj, Shri Gajanan Maharah ( Shegaon) done tapasya for 12 years and then became visible in Shegaon. The great traveller from China Hsuan Tsang ( We have studied in school history) , also visited this place and gave a big circular disk as a present to this place. People can still see this disk inside the temple. There is also a Temple of Kamakshi Devi, which is under renovation.
