Bhuleshwar Temple is situated at a distance of about 50 kilometres from Pune and built in the 13th century. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple was initially built to serve purposes of a fort, called Mangalgadh. However, it was later converted into a Lord Shiva temple.

The walls of Bhuleshwar temple are laced with intricate carvings, starting from its entrance. The temple is not only significant from the architectural point of view, but also important mythologically. People believe that Goddess Parvati danced in honour of Lord Shiva, and thereafter left for Kailash to get married. The temple is filled up with devotees in the month of Sharawn, especially at the time of Mahashivratri.
