Hiranyakeshi temple is located around 6 Kms from the MTDC resort. The temple is where the Hiranyakeshi river originates. The source of the river is somewhere inside the cave of the temple. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvathi. Hiranyakeshi meaning the one with golden hair refers to goddess in the temple. The temple is around a Km walk from the car parking. The temple was open but there was no priest. There was way to enter the cave but we did not check it out. The water flows out of the cave into a small pond in front of the temple from where it flows as Hiranyakeshi river..

Few pics from the temple. 






The temple located amidst the serene environment is one of the important tourist attraction in Amboli.
