Astavinayak Circuit in March
Maharashtra, India
March holds the circuit at clean operational temperature through the first three weeks; the last week edges toward heat-stress territory. Gudi Padwa — the Marathi New Year — falls Thursday 19 March 2026; temples run special morning abhishek and the wider Maharashtra cultural anchor pulls pilgrim flow into the yatra circuit. Daytime 20-34C, nights 14-16C; the Pune plateau temples (Morgaon, Theur, Ranjangaon, Ozar, Lenyadri) hold mild noon temperatures while the Konkan side (Pali, Mahad) starts to feel the humidity build. Sankashti Chaturthi falls mid-March bringing standard Tuesday density. Bhima river at low pre-monsoon flow — Siddhatek boat crossing reliable. MTDC three-day packages ₹3,800-5,200. Lenyadri 307-step climb workable but pre-9am only; afternoon climbs sweat-heavy. Last clean-comfort window before April pushes the circuit into mid-day heat territory.
