Pune to Jejuri Gad Khandoba Temple Taxi Cabs Services

Pandeshwar Temple is located off Jejuri Morgaon road, around 50 kms from Pune. It is a medieval temple probably constructed around the 10-12th century, but later renovated in the 18th century as is apparent from the surrounding architecture. The temple is hidden amidst obscure villages located around the river Karha. As per the folklore, river Karha was formed from the water of Lord Brahma’s ‘kamandalu’named ‘Kar’ (Kamandalu is a small vessel to store water, generally associated with the Gods and also in use by the ascetics) . The river Karha takes its name from this 'Kar'. The villagers even insist that the temple itself was built by the Pandavas in a nights time. We can obviously take this with a pinch of salt, as this particular folklore is associated with virtually every ancient temple in Maharashtra. But the fact of the matter is, the temple is known after the Pandavas hence called Pandeshwar.

The road to the Pandeshwar mandir from the Jejuri Morgaon road is rather rough and passes through the green fields. There is also another road from Saswad. You need to drive towards Baramati Road, further to Jejuri take the Morgaon Road, not the NIRA Road. Once you pass the Railway Bridge, Take a turn to left towards the Damn Malharsagar. Further to the Damn, you get Pandeshwar. It is again 3-4 Kms from Jejuri. Hiring a taxi cab from car rental services provider is a better option to cover nearby places.

Prati Balaji, Ketkawale and Narayanpur are nice places to visit.
