    About Mangi Tungi<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Situated in Baglan tehsil, about 150 Kms from Nashik, Mangi Tungi is described as siddha kshetra which means it is a gateway to the state of enlightenment. The mythological tales assure those who are religiously inclined & who are seeking the path of enlightenment that more than 90 crore saints & celebrities such as Lord Rama & Lord Krishna had attained Moksha, the enlightenment at Mangi Tungi. Lord Krishna breathed his last & jettisoned his material body in the same area. It is further believed that his elder brother Balram, came out of the state of deep mourning after Lord Krishna's death & received paramadnyana, ultimate knowledge which further helped him attain enlightenment at Mangi Tungi only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
