Twenty kilometres from Alibaug, across the Revdanda Bridge, is the beautiful Vikram Vinayak Temple within the Vikram Ispat premises. Situated on a small hillock, a walk up the well-paved stairs leads directly to the temple.

The towering dome done up in exquisite white granite is visible from a distance far off and the surroundings of the temple comprise of a well-planned and well laid out garden and colourful fountains. The prayer hall is open on all sides, allowing access and entry from all four sides and the roof is made of transparent Polycorp sheet, providing an unadulterated view of the vast bright blue sky, creating just the right ambience for a prayer session. The temple has idols of Shree Radha-Krishnna, Shree Shiv-Parvati, Goddess Druga and Lord Surya. A life-size statue of Late Aditya Birla has been erected in the garden.

The arati and the puja is held everyday and can be attended at either 9.00 AM and/or 7.15 pm. General entry into the temple premises is open from 6.00 AM to 11.30 AM and 4.30 PM to 9.00 PM each day, all year through. Popular with the local followers, even devotees from other parts of the country flock here all across the year to pay their respects and seek the blessings. Do visit this beautiful temple for an uplifting experience and the quaint prayer hall!
