Parvati Hill and Temple in Pune is an important landmark. Located very close to the city center it is a main tourist attraction.
One can reach top of the hill by climbing approximately 110 steps. Here the main temple at the top as the name suggests is of Goddess Parvati.
It was built by the third Peshwa, Shrimant Nana Saheb in the year 1749 A.D. There is no change in the temple architecture that we see today. It was constructed in this style on those days itself. Probably only new thing in the temple is the paint.

Shadow, shadow lurking dark
In a corner of the park,
What immortal eye can see
Your transcendent symmetry?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful temple. I have never been to this one, will try to make it in my next visit.
ReplyDeleteA temple for Parvati. That's not something we hear about very often, right? It looks beautiful too. For some reason the top of the temple reminded me of St. Basil's Cathedral, Moscow (not that I've seen it. Would love to, tho'). I guess it's the colour and the architectural details on it.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for appreciating this place.
