History & tradition
The Pataleshwar Caves, also called the Panchaleshvara temple, are a rock-cut temple in Pune, Maharashtra, excavated in the 8th century in the Rashtrakuta period. Dedicated to Shiva, the monument was cut from a single mass of rock, with a notable circular Nandi mandapa in front of a large pillared hall and three cave sanctums. The sanctums are now dedicated to Parvati, Shiva and Ganesha. A garden surrounds the site today. Centuries of weather have marked the exterior, and the interior has suffered some damage.
