Located 65 km west of Pune, Tamhini is a hilly place near Mulshi Dam. The area is blessed with waterfalls, verdant valleys and lush evergreen forests. The temple dedicated to Vinzai Devi and the beautiful Devrai (sacred grove) full of some interesting flora adds to the charm of the place. The forests are rich with birdlife including certain colorful birds and insects.
Tamhini is easily accessible from Pirangut off Mulshi Dam. Pirangut is 26 km from Pune station.
There is a temple dedicated to Vinzai Devi in the village Tamhini near Mulshi in Pune District.Vinzai devi is Durga devi. Thus the slain animal which she has at her feet is a buffalo, the buffalo form has been taken by the devil 'Mahisasur'. The battle is described in the Devi Mahatmaya.
Cheers

Tamhini ghat connects Pune region and Kokan region ( particularly nearer KOLAD ).
Rohe, Nagothane, Kolad, Indapur, Mangaon, Nizampur are some of the towns which are nearer to Pune via this ghat than taking a route via Panvel. From Pune you need to pass the Mulshi dam enroute.
About the temple, am sorry I can't help you here.
If you are travelling on this route, it's scenic and fairly uncrowded. Happy journey.
