Bhuleshwar Shiva Temple
HistoryEdit
Bhuleshwar temple was built in 13th century (1230 AD) and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It was previously a fort called “Mangalgadh” . Later the temple was invaded by Aurangzeb, a Muslim ruler and was reconstructed again. The entrance of temple is called “Gaimukhi” which dates back to Shivaji Maharaj’s era. As per the mythological story, Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati had a fight and angry Shiva came here to meditate. Then Devi Parvati, dressed as a tribal woman danced to fascinate Shiva and he got attracted to her beauty. Finally, they went to Kailash parbat and got re-united. The place got its name from this story. “To sedate” means “bhul” in Marathi. As Shiva got attracted towards Paravati, hence Shiva got another name – Bhuleshwar. Hence the name of the temple.
