01 — The story

Kukdeshwar Temple is a Shiva shrine in Pune district, Maharashtra, set beside the Kukadi River roughly 15 km to the west of Junnar, which is the closest town. The temple is valued for its sculptures and carved work.

Its roof is now in poor repair, so visitors find a building that is partly in ruins. Chavand fort, which also goes by the name Prasannagad, lies at a distance of roughly 3 km from the temple.
