Ideal visit duration: 1 to 2 hours

Closed in: Open all year

Bhuleshwar Temple is a historic Hindu temple located around 45 kilometers from Pune, near Yawat in Maharashtra, India. What makes this temple unique is its architecture and the fact that it's built on a hill. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and dates back to the 13th century. Constructed under the patronage of king Krishnadevraya, Bhuleshwar has a peculiar Nandi Lane, leading to the main shrine. Not just a spiritual haven, the temple showcases brilliant craftsmanship with its classical carvings and murals. Mythologically, it's believed to be where Lord Shiva was bewitched by Parvati's beauty and conceded to her wish to move into Kailash with him. The temple facade is richly carved with figures of deities and it was once a fort known as Mangalgadh. Bhuleshwar Temple stands out for its remarkable design, as it's built in such a way that no rays of the sun directly enter the sanctum sanctorum, preserving the ambiance essential for worship and meditation. It is not only a destination for devotees but also a point of interest for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts.
