The story

Khidkaleshwar Mandir, also called the Khidkali temple, is a Hindu temple on the shore of Khidkali Lake at Dombivli in Maharashtra. Legend holds that the Pandavas built it during their time in the forest, so that Yudhishthira could perform his Shiva puja. The structure seen today was probably rebuilt in the 17th century.

Old idols of Ganesha and Hanuman are kept inside the main temple, and smaller shrines to Dattatreya, Hanuman and other gurus stand close by. The campus also has a small park where children can play.
