Shri Dattatreya Temple, Audumber
Shri Kshetra Audumber is a prominent spiritual site dedicated to Lord Dattatreya in Sangli district. Located in the Palus Taluka near Bhilavadi village, the temple is beautifully situated amidst nature on the banks of the Krishna River. The temple houses the sacred footprints of Lord Dattatreya.
It is located about 4 km west of Bhilavadi railway station. The temple area also includes the Brahmanand Swami Math and the Shri Bhuvaneshwari Temple, adding to its spiritual importance. Shri Brahmanand Swami arrived at Audumber in 1826 and established the monastery here, where he later took samadhi (final resting place). His disciples continue the tradition to this day.
The temple faces east and has a stone structure. Across the river, the Shri Bhuvaneshwari Temple, built from black stone, is a beautiful piece of ancient architecture. The temple complex is known for its annual grand fair during Mahashivaratri. The temple premises have a rest house for pilgrims and a protective wall to prevent flooding.
