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".
