Parvati Hill & Temple

On 4th December, 2005, one of our college friend Nayana's marriage was there. She was the first one in our college to get married. Some of our college mates came from Mumbai to Pune to attend her marriage.
After the marriage we had some time before my friends could leave for Mumbai. So, we decide to visit Parvati hill and temples.
Parvati hill is located in Southern Pune which is visible from many parts of Pune. There are many temples at the top which is dedicated to Parvati, Vishnu, Ganesh, Kartikeya and Devadeshwar.
The climb comprising of a hundred odd steps to the top does turn to be very rewarding with a beautiful view of the Pune City. It is one of the most popular destinations for walkers and the health conscious (besides the devotees) who make their way as early as 5.00 am as they climb the 108 steps up the hill. It is said that at this spot the Peshwa ruler Balaji Baji Rao watched the British defeat at the Battle of Kirkee.
Located on this hill is a interesting museum that describes the Peshwa rule and a Ganesh temple.
Here are some of the snaps when we visited this place.








So, if you ever get a chance to visit this place then do visit because Parvati is worth seeing and unforgettable.
