All about the Shingroba Temple, Lonavala
Shingroba Temple, constructed in the 19th century, graces the picturesque hill station of Lonavala in Maharashtra. The temple derives its name from an old shepherd known as ‘Shingroba.’
In 1853, during the expansion of the Mumbai Thane Railway to Pune, the British encountered difficulties in navigating their way to Lonavala. After reaching the Khandala Ghat, their progress was halted.
It was then that they encountered Shingroba, who guided them towards Lonavala.
Upon being asked by a British officer for a wish, Shingroba expressed his desire to liberate his homeland and its people. Tragically, the officer responded by fatally shooting Shingroba.
Since that fateful incident, Shingroba has been revered by the locals as a symbol of resistance and patriotism. In honour of his sacrifice, a temple was erected in his memory, symbolising his legacy as a freedom fighter.
