The temple was decorated with lights as it was occasion of diwali the temple is located right next to beach and is a very peaceful place, it is a place of tourist attraction and also well known for religious destination.
Wow ,nice lighting. This temple always decorate like that or for any festival purpose. @FalguniP
Thank you for appreciating 
As mentioned the temple was decorated as it was festival of diwali.
Thanks for sharing a photo of the renowned temple.
Could you also circumnavigate the temple i.e. do a “Pradakshina” through the long but scenic path?
Meanwhile, you will find the following two articles useful.
Thank you so much @C_T
For sharing it helped me to know more I will keep those things in mind next time for the night photos
Hi @FalguniP
The decoration of lights to the ‘Ganpatipule temple’ looking so beautiful through your photo.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for appreciating @vijayparadkar
It was a wonderful time spent there.
That looks beautiful @FalguniP , at first glance I thought it was a Las Vegas casino.
I hear Diwali is very special and a unique experience to participate in the celebration. I hope I get to see it with my own eyes one day.
Thank you so much for appreciating.
Yes diwali is one of the important festival of India and the real beauty of this festival is seen in many wonderful temples with lights and oil lamps shining whole evening and night. Even people at homes light up their windows and doors with LED lights, lanterns and earthen oil lamps, you should surely visit the major temples to see the beautiful oil lamps and floral decoration during diwali
Thank you for appreciation
I would love to @FalguniP , it sounds amazing!
is there a particular city that is the best for celebrating Diwali or will I get a great experience everywhere?
Hi @FalguniP
Thanks for this picture. I always wanted to go this temple. Can you tell me how can I reach here from Ratnagiri railway station? Also, are there any staying options near temples?
Thank you for appreciating
You can book a cab/ mini bus or local taxi and buses from Ratnagairi station,
The distance is approximately 50-60km from station, there are many hotels and lodges available for stay near by the temple,
But I would suggest to pre book to avoid last moment problem,
The ideal time to visit is during rain or winters avoid going in summer as the climate is too humid and hot
Sure
Kalighat, Belur Math and Dakshineswar Temple. Kolkata
Golden temple in Amritsar
Ganga Ghat Varanasi (ganges river bank)
Shrinathji temple, Nathdwara, Udaipur
These are some of the major parts where Traditional and vibrant celebration can be experienced.

Thank you very much @FalguniP for all this information. It will definitely help many people here.
That’s really kind of you that you found this information helpful. Thank you
Thanks for the advice @FalguniP !
I’ll have that in mind if I’m ever find myself in India during Diwali. I really hope I will one day!
Mostly diwali is in the month of October and November @MortenSI in case you visit you would surely be able to take a glimpse of the festival of light.
I’ll do my best and plan accordingly @Falguni_paleja.
Thank you so much for the advice!
