Located on a hill 4,650
feet above sea level, the temple, some 20 km from Satara,
overlooks the picturesque Purandar fort. Devotees attribute
miraculous properties to a grove around the shrine. Local lore

during Shivaji's Maratha rule. However, no definite date on the
temple's construction is available. |
