The temple is located near the birthplace of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Chikhali, within the Dapoli tehsil.
The location is geographically significant for its elevation, which offers views of the coastline stretching toward the Murud-Harnai beach belt.
The statue is constructed to withstand the humid, salt-heavy coastal climate of the Konkan region.
The hilltop site serves as a vantage point for observing the confluence of the sea and the surrounding hills of the Western Ghats.
Shri Bhagwan Parshuram Hill in Burondi is a hilltop temple complex dedicated to Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Vishnu. The site is situated on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea, providing a panoramic vantage point of the Konkan coastline. A large, prominent statue of Parshuram stands as the primary landmark of the site. The temple complex is integrated into the rugged terrain of Dapoli, featuring paved walkways and tiered levels. The architectural layout emphasizes its geographical position by facing directly toward the sea. Visitors reach the main temple area via an inclined approach path from the base of the hill.

Wear comfortable, non-slip footwear as the terrain involves inclined paved surfaces and stone steps.
Carry adequate water and sun protection, as the hilltop is exposed to direct sunlight with limited shade.
Visit during the late afternoon to experience both daylight views and the sunset over the Arabian Sea.
Avoid visiting during the peak monsoon months of July and August when the path can become slippery and visibility is frequently obscured by fog.
Remove footwear before entering the temple sanctum; dress modestly as it is a place of worship.
