역사 이야기

The hill was originally owned by a Patil named Taware. The Peshwa purchased it to build a Shiva temple. The Devi temple was believed to be Taware's kulswami, whose angara cured a leg ailment of Kashibai, mother of Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao, prompting the Peshwa to build a temple complex. The main Devdeveshwara temple, made of blackstone, was completed under Balaji Baji Rao in 1749, with a gold pinnacle added in 1760.
