The famous beach temple of Ganpatipule in Maharashtra' Ratnagiri district will be revamped into a world class tourist destination, Tourism Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said here on Monday.

The four centuries old beach temple, considered one of its kind in the state, enshrines a 'swayambhu' (self-evolved) stone idol of Lord Ganesha, facing the west, against a backdrop of lush green hills of the Konkan region.
