Shanta Durga Temple in Goa. It is dedicated to Shanta Durga – the form of Shakti who is peaceful and who mediated between Shiva and Vishnu. The original temple was destroyed by Portuguese in 1564. The Devi was shifted to this place at Kavalem and worship continued here. The current temple was constructed during the reign of Maratha ruler Chatrapati Shahu Raje of Satara about 1738 A.D. Here is the temple website:

The world famous Sai Baba Temple of Shirdi, Maharashtra.
Dagdu Seth Ganesha Mandir, Pune. A beautiful Ganesha Temple with its unique style and design. The Ganesh Idol is also one of the most wonderful I have ever seen. Its peaceful but thronged by people. I found it similar to Siddhivinayak Temple of Mumbai. Must visit in Pune.

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything.
Do you have any tips and hints for first-time blog writers?
I'd definitely appreciate it.
