Hadshi Temple - A beautiful but hidden place in Pune
Pune is very well known for Monsoon beauty. And if you are looking for a place where you would want to forget all your worries, or want to just spend some time with nature, to take a break from your busy schedules, or you want to take your family to somewhere you would feel peace, then, pin this place.
Located in lush green area, on a small hill, Hadshi temple, also called Shri Pandurang temple or Shri Vitthal temple, has a serene view. The pleasant scenic beauty around you would make you feel soooooo much connected with Nature and God.
This beautiful temple is dedicated to Vitthal-Rukmini and constructed as asked by Shri Satya Sai Baba. This is very clean,calm and holy area surrounded by small mountain and lot of trees.
HOW TO REACH HADSHI TEMPLE(FOR A ZEN CRAVING SOUL)!!!
To reach Hadshi, there are two routes:
1. From Chandani Chouk to Pirangut to Paud to Hadshi
2. From old pune-mumbai road, you have to come to pavana dam road then near pawana dam take a left turn to reach Hadshi.
THINGS TO DO HERE!!!
There is a meditation hall, where you can spend some peaceful time. After paying tributes to the deities and spending some time in the meditation hall, you can relax yourself on the beautiful green lawns, where you can get comfortable benches, pergolas, swings and slides(in case you are coming with kids!!!) and of course the natural shades of big trees... Oh!!! there is also a short water lake and cute ducks are paddling around.
If you are coming with kids, a must see place here is the Santdarshan Museum where a cave tunnel awaits you with various statues depicting some unique stories of their life.
QUICK TIP:
There is a decent canteen, but still you can carry your own food or snacks of your choice.
Wear socks: Temple pavement gets scorching hot in summers.
It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful Indian temples, I have ever seen in my life.
