How to ReachEdit

Taxi : Mumbai’s taxis are allowed into Thane. The prepaid taxi service available at the airport is the recommended hassle-free way of getting to Thane. The fare you pay at the counter includes the toll you need to pay when you leave Mumbai.

BUS : There are very few BEST buses that go right up to Marathon Chowk (It is known as “Teen Haath naka”)- 399 and 496 Ltd. Once you get off, catch a TMT bus or auto-rickshaw. From this spot Thane railway station is hardly 10-12 min walk if you go by following Gokhale Road, & auto should not cost more than 10-15 Rupees. BEST bus kinglong number 700 for Borivali, from Thane railway station east, frequency every 15 minutes. early bus 6.00am last bus 11.30pm Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) also called ST bus service from Thane railway station west frequency every 15 minutes. BRTS Buses originate from Cadbury Junction for Backbay and Nehru Planetarium. Most private buses from various parts of the country will stop in Thane. Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses will ply from various parts of Maharashtra to Thane. Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) commuters helpline number 1800-22-9901 to get the information about TMT buses

Train : The best way to get to Thane from Mumbai using public transport is to take the local train service. Although Andheri is the nearest railway station from the airport a better option would be to take an auto-rikshaw to Kurla or Ghatkopar station (both these stations fall on the central suburban line) and then board any suburban Northbound Local Suburban train (all local suburban trains halt at Thane) to Thane. You’ve the option to board a fast or a slow train. But better option is to board Thane Local Train which ends at Thane station. Trains can be located by Abbrevations for example T – Thane so any train with T abbrevation on Digital Train time display will end at Thane. The auto-rikshaw ride to Kurla or Ghatkopar stations would cost a little more, about Rs 60 to Rs 70, compared with Andheri which will be about Rs.40 to Rs.50 but you would end up saving about 1 hour to 1&1/2 hour. An added benefit is that you get to board a direct train to Thane thus avoiding the change over at Dadar. Thane is also well served by long distance trains, many of which stop at Thane station en route Mumbai.

Air : The nearest airport is the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport , Mumbai. Once you get off, you will need to take a taxi or hire a car. The distance to Thane is about 36 kilometers (22 miles), the drive can take between 45 to 75 minutes depending on the traffic.

Others : Auto-Rickshaw : The most common way to get around in Thane is to hire an auto rickshaw. Payment is by meter. The amount to pay, however, is not the amount shown by the meter, but scaled up by a factor which changes whenever there is a rate adjustment. Check the tariff card for the right fare. Ensure Tariff card is stamped & signed by RTO. It is better still to know the approximate km to destination and negotiate the charge lumpsum before hand since the meters are invariably tampered with. e.g Thane to Sion is 15-18 km and fair charge would be Rs. 130-140 (latest rate) but the meter will show Rs.180-190. Thus fixing 140-150 before sitting saves you a lot of headache. Recently the government as made it compulsory for the auto-rickshaws to install an electronic meter which shows the amount and the distance traveled. However, it will take few months for all the auto-rickshaws to upgrade their meters

Titwala Ganesh Mandir

India /Maharashtra /Thane /Titwala

Sight Address : Titwala Ganesh Mandir is situated near Vithal-Rukmini Temple, Thane, India. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Titwala Ganesh Mandir or the Mahaganesh temple is one of the major pilgrim spots in Thane. This temple, dedicated to Lord Ganesh, is situated in Titwala. The temple also houses a shrine dedicated to Lord Shivshankar. Titwala Ganesh Mandir also has Vithal-Rukmini temple, which lies in its vicinity.

HistoryEdit

Titwala Ganesh Mandir is beautiful temple. It was constructed by Shakuntala, who was abandoned by her parents, sage Vishwamitra and the celestial damsel Menaka, right after her birth. The temple was submerged under a tank. It was during the rule of Peshwa Madhavrao that the temple was found buried during the de-silting operations, which were carried out in order to provide drinking water to the town after the emergence of a drought situation. Peshwasardar Ramchandra Mehendale discovered the image of Lord Ganesha buried in the silt. Soon after, renovation work was initiated on the site and a stone temple was built. The installation of the ancient Ganesha image was conducted by Peshwa Madhavrao in this new temple after the takeover of Vasai Fort. The temple initially had a small structure with a wooden sabha mandap, which was in poor condition. Renovation work was started once again in 1965-66 and a new temple was constructed at the same location involving an estimated cost of US$3,100.

Air : The nearest airport is the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport , Mumbai. Once you get off, you will need to take a taxi or hire a car. The distance to Thane is about 36 kilometers (22 miles), the drive can take between 45 to 75 minutes depending on the traffic.

Others : Auto-Rickshaw : The most common way to get around in Thane is to hire an auto rickshaw. Payment is by meter. The amount to pay, however, is not the amount shown by the meter, but scaled up by a factor which changes whenever there is a rate adjustment. Check the tariff card for the right fare. Ensure Tariff card is stamped & signed by RTO. It is better still to know the approximate km to destination and negotiate the charge lumpsum before hand since the meters are invariably tampered with. e.g Thane to Sion is 15-18 km and fair charge would be Rs. 130-140 (latest rate) but the meter will show Rs.180-190. Thus fixing 140-150 before sitting saves you a lot of headache. Recently the government as made it compulsory for the auto-rickshaws to install an electronic meter which shows the amount and the distance traveled. However, it will take few months for all the auto-rickshaws to upgrade their meters

Shri Gurudev Ashram

India /Maharashtra /Thane /Vajreshwari

Sight Address : Shri Gurudev Ashram , Vajreshwari, Thane, India. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Shri Gurudev Ashram, also known as the Gurudev Siddha Peeth, was constructed in 1949, by Swami Muktananda, as a tribute to his Guru. The ashram covers an area of about 70 acres and is considered to be the place where his Guru attained Mahasamadhi. This spiritual centre has helped in the development of the area, by providing employment to the local people.

HistoryEdit

The ashram’s origins date back to the guru known as Bhagawan Nityananda, who had been in Ganeshpuri since 1936. Before he died in 1961, Nityananda is said to have told a devotee, Swami Muktananda, to build an ashram at Ganeshpuri on land that Nityananda gave him. Nityananda prophesied that the ashram would become “very big and beautiful” and would attract people from all over the world. Swami Muktananda established the ashram and called it Sri Gurudev Ashram, in honour of Nityananda. In 1978, the name was changed to Gurudev Siddha Peeth. The ashram has since grown as Nityananda predicted and is the site of shrines to both Nityananda and Muktananda (who died in 1982).It functions as a full-time spiritual retreat for people who want to pursue their Siddha Yoga practices.

How to ReachEdit

Taxi : Mumbai’s taxis are allowed into Thane. The prepaid taxi service available at the airport is the recommended hassle-free way of getting to Thane. The fare you pay at the counter includes the toll you need to pay when you leave Mumbai.

BUS : There are very few BEST buses that go right up to Marathon Chowk (It is known as “Teen Haath naka”)- 399 and 496 Ltd. Once you get off, catch a TMT bus or auto-rickshaw. From this spot Thane railway station is hardly 10-12 min walk if you go by following Gokhale Road, & auto should not cost more than 10-15 Rupees. BEST bus kinglong number 700 for Borivali, from Thane railway station east, frequency every 15 minutes. early bus 6.00am last bus 11.30pm Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) also called ST bus service from Thane railway station west frequency every 15 minutes. BRTS Buses originate from Cadbury Junction for Backbay and Nehru Planetarium. Most private buses from various parts of the country will stop in Thane. Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses will ply from various parts of Maharashtra to Thane. Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) commuters helpline number 1800-22-9901 to get the information about TMT buses

Train : The best way to get to Thane from Mumbai using public transport is to take the local train service. Although Andheri is the nearest railway station from the airport a better option would be to take an auto-rikshaw to Kurla or Ghatkopar station (both these stations fall on the central suburban line) and then board any suburban Northbound Local Suburban train (all local suburban trains halt at Thane) to Thane. You’ve the option to board a fast or a slow train. But better option is to board Thane Local Train which ends at Thane station. Trains can be located by Abbrevations for example T – Thane so any train with T abbrevation on Digital Train time display will end at Thane. The auto-rikshaw ride to Kurla or Ghatkopar stations would cost a little more, about Rs 60 to Rs 70, compared with Andheri which will be about Rs.40 to Rs.50 but you would end up saving about 1 hour to 1&1/2 hour. An added benefit is that you get to board a direct train to Thane thus avoiding the change over at Dadar. Thane is also well served by long distance trains, many of which stop at Thane station en route Mumbai.

Air : The nearest airport is the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport , Mumbai. Once you get off, you will need to take a taxi or hire a car. The distance to Thane is about 36 kilometers (22 miles), the drive can take between 45 to 75 minutes depending on the traffic.

Others : Auto-Rickshaw : The most common way to get around in Thane is to hire an auto rickshaw. Payment is by meter. The amount to pay, however, is not the amount shown by the meter, but scaled up by a factor which changes whenever there is a rate adjustment. Check the tariff card for the right fare. Ensure Tariff card is stamped & signed by RTO. It is better still to know the approximate km to destination and negotiate the charge lumpsum before hand since the meters are invariably tampered with. e.g Thane to Sion is 15-18 km and fair charge would be Rs. 130-140 (latest rate) but the meter will show Rs.180-190. Thus fixing 140-150 before sitting saves you a lot of headache. Recently the government as made it compulsory for the auto-rickshaws to install an electronic meter which shows the amount and the distance traveled. However, it will take few months for all the auto-rickshaws to upgrade their meters
