Bhuleshwar Temple


Bhuleshwar is a temple of Lord Shiva, 
located around around 55 kilometres from Pune near village Yewat on Pune- Solapur Highway.

The temple is situated on a hill and was built in the 13th century.

There are classical carvings on the walls. It has been declared as a protected monument

Originally, it was a fort which was called as 'Mangalgadh'. 

Temple was built during the period of 1230 AD during Yadava Rulers. It is believed that the temple was ruined by invaders and reconstructed later because the entrance of the temple is hidden like Gaimukhi Buruj construction of Shivaji's time. The fort on which the temple is situated is called as Daulatmangal fort, also at times referred as Mangalgad

It is said that Parvati danced for Shiva and from here they went to Kailash and got married
