Bhuleshwar temple is located at about 50-60 kms from Pune on the Solapur highway depending on where you start in Pune. The Solapur highway is re-vamped and it is a great ride in the highway.
You can see the bhuleshwas temple on the south side immediately after you cross the second toll from Pune.
This temple is built in the 13th century and is a declared monument of Heritage by the Government of India. So no matter what kind of a big shot you are or how much attitude you have it in, keep it at the door steps of the temple. There are 2 gaurds at the gate. Important thing to know is that Photography is allowed in the temple but you are not supposed to photograph the main Shivling. It is considered taboo in Hinduism and secondly you will be fined. So try not hurt anyone's feelings and faith when you are clicking the fotos. I am writing this para just because i have seen idiots doing idiotic things at heritage sites and ruining it for others. So if you think you are one them, avoid going to Bhuleshwar.
Coming back to the topic, then temple is built in a manner to actually hide the real temple. So when you enter the main door you dont see anything but an empty door with darkness beyond it. You think that there is no light in there and you enter in the hopes that there will be a statue in there. But its not. Again, the architectural beauty and brilliance. When you look at the right or left, there are narrow steps leading you upwards. When you go up thats where the magic comes to light. You see the beautiful temple.
when you see carefully the temple is nothing but perfectly arranged stones and the beautiful carving done within them Much like the Sun temple of Puri.
