If you are tired of the common temples, then this is for you to see. A temple inside the rocks, even in hot days we don't feel that heat inside, is comfortable temperature. Full of flowers and trees around, the temple itself ressembles magic and mystic power... i really enjoyed

This is several centuries old temple smack in the middle of Pune city. It is good place if you just want to get away from the crowd and spend some quiet time. It is convenient in terms of access as it is located right off the JM Road. There isn't much else to see apart from the main temple area.

The temple has an unique factor, in that the caves are under the ground level. However, most of the caves are very damaged, with hardly any sculpture left, so its tad dissapointing

simple temple with not much clutter...can fine a lot of romatinc couples outside & a few youth groups....thanks to the usual lack of parks & poor governance o the PMC, this place too is not well maintained.

A peaceful place to visit right in the heart of a busy city. I have read through the reviews and it appears that one of the temple boards at the entrance is buzy. I had taken a photoshot of the board on my visit in December 2009.

Went to jangli maharaj temple and this place, both are placed beside each other. best part no parking hassles, dont expect too much, its an old single stone carved out temple, and is said to be left incomplete, due to some design issues.open spaces for kids to run around.you can find students studying , and the usual lot of couples.

Good place to visit, but too dark in the cave temple, and do not have explaination on it, should have at least a signboard to explain what is the temple about.

It is a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city. They are of religious significance for Hindus. Since the caves are carved from a single rock, they are definitely worth a visit.
