    If you’re staying at Le Méri­dien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa you’ll be about a mile from the temple. A quick walk after the main prayers, say around 7:30 pm on a weekday, usually leaves most of the evening crowd gone. The temple’s self originated Shiva lingam is best seen when the lights are on but the crowd has thinned. If you prefer a quieter pre prayer walk, the lake is still a short walk from the resort.
