After visiting, the Aaravali Hot Water Springs we headed over the Mumbai Goa Highway (NH17) aka NH66 to Malvan. It was not even 6 KM when we saw another board, stating Tural. Now I had done some research and I informed Manohar that there are hot water springs here. I kept an eye to watch out for a signboard to spot the same.

We finally spotted the board, asked some locals and they informed us that the springs are located behind the Sri Kedarnath Gramdevta Mandir, which can be seen from the highway. Parked our car aside the road and walked towards the temple. The temple is newly constructed, but near the temple are places several stone carvings of various Gods. There is also a old temple near it, there is a shiv ling and a nandi statue in it. I guess this temple is still in use.

We then saw the hot water springs, this spring is not in use, as there is dirt accumulated on one side of it, but I could see the water bubbles. So if the villagers clean it, it can be used to take a dip. Felt sad, as I couldn't dip my feet in it, we then visited the old stone temple, or should I say, what remains of it.
