Khaniwade: Temples and Getting There in the Surrounding Area

Khaniwade can be planned together with destinations in the nearby area. For getting there, the bus connection from Virar railway station to Khanivade village is a useful point of reference; for a visit, there is also Hedavde Mahalaxmi Temple in the nearby village of Hedavde. This means a bus journey and a temple visit are two separate planning considerations. When preparing your stay, it helps to decide first whether getting there, visiting the temple, or attending the annual procession will be the main focus of your schedule.

Getting There via Virar and Khanivade

A Maharashtra State Transport bus runs from Virar railway station to Khanivade village. From Khanivade, you can walk about 2 km or take an auto-rickshaw. This lets you plan the onward journey from the village using either of the two stated options. Check the current timetable before departing, as service frequencies may change. For planning your trip, Virar railway station and Khanivade village are two distinct waypoints: the bus connection runs from the station to the village, after which you can cover the next section on foot or by auto-rickshaw. The approximate walking distance refers to the section from Khanivade.

Hedavde Mahalaxmi Temple

Hedavde Mahalaxmi Temple is in the nearby village of Hedavde on the north bank of the Tansa River. The temple is about 1.9 km from the highway. This is a separate point of reference for navigation: the distance given is for the temple and the highway, while the bus connection starts at Virar railway station and goes to Khanivade village. If you plan to visit the temple, you can note Hedavde as the destination for that part of your trip. This keeps the temple visit and bus journey associated with their respective locations in your plans.

The Prativarshik Yatra in April or May

The annual Prativarshik Yatra takes place at Hedavde Mahalaxmi Temple in April or May. This lets you plan your stay around the occasion rather than using the location alone as the basis for your plans. Along with getting there and the temple’s location, the yatra is a separate consideration when choosing your travel dates. The key question is whether attending the procession suits your plans.

Find a Hotel That Fits Your Travel Plans

If getting there via Virar is your priority, check the address of each hotel listing and plan the bus connection to Khanivade as a separate leg. If the Prativarshik Yatra is the reason for your trip, use the April or May time frame to plan your travel dates, then check the specific event dates. If you also want to visit the temple, include Hedavde as a destination and note that the temple is about 1.9 km from the highway. When comparing hotel listings, check the actual addresses and the location information provided for each against your planned routes.
