Devgad is also home to the oldest and biggest co-operative society of mango farmers in India, called the Devgad Taluka Amba Utpadak Sahakari Sanstha Ltd, with 700 members and 25-year-old in 2013.

Fort Vijaydurg, named as the Eastern Gibraltar because of its virtual impregnability, was impressive as seen by British, Dutch, Portuguese armies and travellers 400 years ago and even today as seen by visitors. The nearest railway station is Kankavli on Konkan Railway on Mumbai-Goa road. From Kankavli, one can get an auto-rickshaw or a state transport bus to reach Devgad-Vijaydurg.

We visited this beautiful beach and temple of Kunkeshwar in Kokan.
This town is situated on the bank of Arabian Sea. There is a temple for the Hindu deity Shiva in the town. This temple is holy place in Konkan, and is also known as Konkan Kashi.

HISTORY OF KUNKESHWAR
The temple of Kunkeshwar was built many years back. According to legend, a sailor traveling in the sea for trade came near the beach of Kunkeshwar. Suddenly a havoc appeared in sea. The sailor was a Muslim. The ship seemed to sink in the sea. He saw a lamp on that beach. He prayed to that lamp I don't know who you are. But if you will help me and stop the havoc I will build a temple for you. And his ship came to the seashore of Kunkeshwar without any problem. He built the temple as promised. The Lingam was already there. As the Sailor was a non-Hindu, he thought that his religion will not accept him. Therefore, he committed suicide from the top of temple.

Velneshwar Village and the Beach | A memorable trip to Velneshwar
In Video - A memorable trip to Velneshwar Village & Velneshwar beach
Velneshwar is a village on the Western Coast of Maharashtra, India, about 70 km from Ratnagiri. There is an old Shiva temple at Velneshwar which is frequently visited by pilgrims.
This beach is quite famous for its location and also the peace, also for the clean atmosphere that it offers. It is absolutely amazing having white and fine sand.
Many houses to rent there we got one at the excellent location, facing the seashore and commanding a good view of nature. The amenities were just basic but sufficient and the place was clean. The rent was moderate and value for money. Also you will get places where you can enjoy homely meal. Overall very nice and calm place away from city life, one will definatly like it. Must plan a visit.
