Temples near Chinchane
Named places of worship on record
The principal temple recorded for Chandgad mandal is Jagadguru Shankaracharya Math. No temple of this dedication is on record within Chinchane 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, Chinchane ranks #106 of 155 villages in Chandgad mandal.
