I thoght that this was a neat place. Alot of people complained that it is half finished but I don't care about that because it is carved into a rock. There were engravings on the floor too which I liked to look at. There were half finished engravings on the walls too. If you are into caves and cave art... More

We went there thinking of like it will be a good temple. BUT actually it is just a historical half-finished place. You can't spend even 10 mins at this place.

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.
