List of Hindu temples in Pune
The city of Pune and the surrounding district have been at the centre of the history of Maharashtra for more than eight hundred years. A number of places revered by Marathi Hindu people are there, including five of the eight Ashtavinayak Ganesh temples. The samadhi (resting) places of the two most revered Marathi Bhakti saints, Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram, are at Alandi and Dehu respectively. The main temple of Khandoba, the family deity for most Marathi Hindus, is also in the district at Jejuri. The city's oldest temple is the Pataleshwar rock-cut temple complex, built in the 8th century.
The patronage of the 18th century Peshwas resulted in construction of around 250 temples in the city, including those on Parvati Hill. Many of the Maruti, Vithoba, Vishnu, Mahadeo, Rama, Krishna and Ganesh temples were built in this era. The city also conducted many public festivals. The Peshwa era rulers provided endowments to more Maruti temples than to temples of other deities such as Shiva, Ganesh or Vitthal. Even in the present time, there are more Maruti temples than those of other deities.
Ashtavinayak refers to eight Ganesh temples in Pune district and adjacent areas. Each of these temples has its own individual legend and history. Five of these temples are situated in Pune district.
Many new temples have been built in the Pune metro area and other parts of the district in recent years by different Hindu sects. Amongst these the large and notable ones are:
