Sunset Point

Sunset Point, also known as Hanuman Point or Dhanukamal, is a scenic vantage point located approximately 0.5 km west of Jawhar city in Palghar district, Maharashtra. Situated on a plateau, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, lush greenery, and the Sahyadri mountain range. The site features an observation deck, three dome structures, a children's park, and paved walkways. It is particularly noted for sunset views where Mahalaxmi Mountain near Dahanu is visible.

Visitors can expect a tranquil natural setting atop a small plateau with expansive views of verdant valleys and hills. The site includes an observation deck and three small dome structures designed for viewing sunsets. There is a large park with play equipment for children and paved walkways suitable for evening strolls. On clear evenings, the setting sun illuminates the Sahyadri range and the distant Mahalaxmi Mountain. Access requires a short walk from the main entrance gate.

The valley surrounding the viewpoint resembles a bow shape, leading to its historical name Dhanukamal. According to local legend, Lord Hanuman rested at this spot while traveling to Lanka, which is why it is also referred to as Hanuman Point.

The site holds religious significance due to the nearby ancient Katya Maruti (Hanuman) temple. It serves as a communal gathering spot for locals and tourists to witness natural phenomena and engage in leisure activities within Jawhar's tribal cultural landscape.
