Pataleshwar Cave Temple and Jangli Maharaj Temple in Shivaji Nagar

Date : 04 April 2011

Pataleshwar Cave Temple, dedicated to Lord Pataleshwar - God of the Underworld, dates back to the eighth century. It is situated on the Jangali Maharaj Road in Shivaji Nagar. One of the major attractions of the Pataleshwar Cave Temple of Pune is its exquisite rock-cut architecture. The cave temple was modeled on the rock temple of Elephanta. However, the construction of the temple never got fully completed and the resemblance remained partial only. There is a cave in the vicinity of the temple, the reason for the temple getting its name as the 'Pataleshwar Cave Temple'.
