Sandwiched between magnum IT and software companies, the Chaturshringi temple still holds its grandeur even in the modern times.

The constructional period dates back to the era of the great Maratha ruler Chatrapati Shivaji and is dedicated to Devi Ambareshwari. However, the Goddess is known and worshipped by other names such as- Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati and Goddess Chatshrungee. Just like the other temples are associated with numerous legends, Chaturshringi temple is also not left far behind. The curious tale that goes is- a rich and prosperous merchant had actually built the temple. He was an ardent believer of Goddess Chatshrungee, and visited Her temples in other places. But, as old age struck him, he could no longer visit far-off places, therefore was hindered from praying to the Devi. On one such night, Devi Chatshrungee came to his dreams, and left a lasting presence in his mind. Thus, deeply moved by this holy gesture, the merchant built the temple at the place it stands today.

Chaturshringi means a mountain with four peaks. The temple consists of much smaller temples dedicated to Goddess Durga in various forms. Lord Ganesha also finds an important place in the temple precincts that are spread over four small hillocks, giving the temple its name. The time to watch out the place is during the time of Navaratri, in the months of October-November, when celebrations are held for nine days. It is worth a sight, because the place is lit up with more than a thousand lights.
