Chaturshringi Temple
चतुःशृंगी मंदिर
A goddess temple on a hillside in northern Pune, dedicated to the 'Four-Peaked Goddess'; the Navratri festival fair is one of the city's liveliest celebrations.
The temple sits on a small hill beside Senapati Bapat Road and is reached by about 170 steps. The main shrine enshrines Chaturshringi, a form of the goddess Devi, and is said to have been built by a merchant during the Maratha period. From late September to October, during the nine-night Navratri festival, fairs, amusement rides and crowds of worshippers fill the foot of the hill. Visits on ordinary days are free and take about 30 minutes.
