If you are fond of hills, wish to enjoy a peaceful evening, watch the sun go down the horizon and most importantly if you are in Pune, then Bhuleshwar is the place to be. Situated atop a hill Bhuleshwar is an ancient temple built in the 13th Century build by Chola rulers. It is a beautiful temple with sculptures of deities carved out of stone.
The place has a mythological importance and there is an interesting story behind its name. It is believed that it was here at Bhuleshwar , Lord Shiva (after a fight with Devi Parvati) sat for meditation. To convince Lord Shiva to return to their heavenly adobe "Kailash" , Parvati seduced ("bhul" in marathi) Shiva and they re-united, hence the name "Bhuleshwar".

The stone carvings are beautiful indeed and you have not lessesned its beauty by any amount... I just feel amazed to look at these basaltic stone carvings which is one of the oldest and most popular carving stone used in Indian temples...
ReplyDelete@ Abhijit: Ya indeed :(
I found the 2nd photo the most beautiful as the carving which is unfragmented is illuminated and the one which is fragmented sees a darker side somehow justifying the photograph.... Keep it up!!
