Overview
About 350 years ago, Shri. Damodar Swami created a pool which is now known as Atmeshwar Tali. Atmeshwar Tali is a crystal clear water source, available for all 365 days of year. The Swamiji threw his Trishul while enchanting mantra of "Jay Mate Bhagirathi (Ganga)". On the very place a big stream of water appeared and it's flowing perpetually from that day. With the passage of time, this place too is affected by hasty and unmindful modernization. There is a ancient temple called as Atmeshwar Temple of Lord Shiva. It is a unique example where two Shiva lings are placed in one temple. It is a grace of god to Sawantwadi and its citizens.
