Vajreshwari, a village in the Bhiwandi taluka of Thane District, Maharashtra, near Mumbai, is famous for its cluster of sulfurous hot springs associated with the ancient Vajreshwari Temple — one of Maharashtra's most important shakti peethas dedicated to the goddess Vajreshwari (also known as Vagad), who is worshipped here as the deity of the volcanic spring waters. The springs emerge near the confluence of the Vaitarna and Tansa rivers in a landscape that has attracted pilgrims since antiquity, with the thermal waters considered sacred to the goddess and used for ritual purification as well as therapeutic bathing for skin conditions. Vajreshwari's chloride-rich springs, set within a functioning Hindu temple complex of considerable antiquity, represent the living intersection of Maharashtra's geothermal heritage and devotional culture within easy reach of India's largest metropolitan area.
