Pisharnath Mahadev Mandir is a Shiva temple in the hill station of Matheran, Maharashtra, and the oldest temple in the town. Its deity, Pisharnath, is the grama devata, the guardian god of the village.
The lingam is swayambhu, or self-manifested, and leans in an unusual tilted L shape, coated with sindoor. The temple stands on the bank of the lake now called Charlotte, at an altitude of about 2,516 ft, in quiet and secluded surroundings.
