Dehu Temple




Dehu Temple is an 18th century shrine dedicated to Lord Pandurang. It was built by Narayan, the youngest son of the great saint Tukaram. The temple environs (the ‘Deul Wada') has various shrines of Lord Vithoba, Lord Ganpati, Lord Maruti, and Lord Ram. The site where Tukaram attained salvation is nearby. A rock on which he stood while performing a 13-day fast and a garden dedicated to his wife are the other points worth visiting.

Dehu is an ancient town on the banks of river Indravati, 24 km from Pune.
