Tamdalge observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Maharashtra.
The principal temple recorded for Shirol mandal is Temple of Haranareshwar & Ardhanarinateshwar, one Hemadpanthi tank (small square kunda) & Viragal stone kept in the compound.. No temple of this dedication is on record within Tamdalge itself.
Kolhapur's Mahalaxmi, called Ambabai here, is counted among the Shakti Peethas, and Navaratri is the temple's fullest season. The same shrine is known for Kirnotsav, when the setting sun's rays fall directly along the sanctum onto the idol on a few fixed days of the year.
By population, Tamdalge ranks #48 of 51 villages in Shirol mandal.
