Had read a lot about this one, so was itching go visit it sometime soon.
Chose a bright Sat morning for the same with Sun all guns blazing :)
Waking up a bit early than normal is tough (even if it is just half an hour early) , still was on road by 8 sumthng, with wifey and kiddy in tow.
The road was well known and minus any twists and turns after hadapdar. till hadapsar it was all traffic and chaos all around. that solapur highway in hadapsar in turning into a land of flyovers. another one being constructed near magarpatta junction.
had special wada-paav @ joshi-wadevaale , just crossing hadapsar, wifey chose to have misal-paav, which she didnt liked. anyways, road from here is a straight one.
on solapur highway, hadapsar->loni->uruli->yavat(minus 2 kms) , took a right just before yavat. all over the internet the directions to bhuleshwar kept saying take a right one before 2 kms of yavat, now how Im supposed to do that, kinda funny.
the right one come once you pass the second toll naka, and cross the canal.
anyways, one cant miss the right turn, u can see the "bhuleshwar" tags on the lhs of road, just approaching yavat. took right and it leads straight to the temple.
you can easily identify the site as its on the only hill in that region(atleast it looks like), the last few kms goes through a ghat section, but the road is newly built and easily rideable. u need to take one more final right post the ghat section, to start the final climb towards the temple.
the last few metres of climb are real steeeeeep, and had to get wifey n kiddy to walk the stairs , had a fear of toppling the bike backwards :) , nevertheless its just few steps.
its some 12th century temple , peshwe-kaalin as told by the priest later. there were few enthusiastic people like us, who chose this bright sunny day for the visit. the inside is real awesome, dark, cold, architecturally beautiful, broken , still beautiful.
again, as told by priest, the lhs of the insides depicts various scenes from ramayana and rhs has mahabharata on it, if you can make it out. as most the sculptures were broken very badly, its tough to recognize anything.
clicked few more and lots more of snaps and had lunch that we took along under a tree. spend some more time and started back.
that was the end of it, nothing much to do on the temple.
on the way back, picked up marigold plants from a nursery, and wifey clicked few more snaps of kiddy alongside the flowers.
dont forget to pick up your share of exotic grapes from the "national research centre of grapes" just before hadapsar on your way back. didnt saw such huge grapes anywhere in pune.
thats it for now.
