Shivarajeshwar Temple is a unique shrine, situated near
Malvan in
Sindhudurg District. It stands on a high plinth and is believed to have been built by Rajaram – the son of
Chhatrapati Shivaji – in memory of his father.
The highlight here is a black stone idol of Shivaji, with a metal mask. It is covered in a red robe adorned with golden thread. Besides, a double-edged sword, once used by Shivaji, can be seen here.
