History of Chaturshringi Temple

The Chaturshringi Temple has a rich history that goes back to the era of the Peshwas, around 250 years ago. According to the legends, a wealthy money lender and mint owner Durlabhsheth Pitambardas Mahajan was the owner of this sacred temple in Pune. He was a highly religious person and devoted to Devi Saptashrungi. Every year during the full moon day of Chaitra, he used to travel to the hills of Vani (near Nasik), which is around 300 km from Pune, to visit the temple of Devi Saptashrungi.

However, due to old age, Durlabhsheth stopped visiting Vani to worship the goddess after a few years. It was a great sorrow to him that he was unable to travel. Because of his true devotion, deep sadness, and prayers, the goddess came in his dream and suggested to him to visit the North-West of Pune and bring her idol so she could be near her devotee. And to fulfill the Goddess’ command, Durlabhsheth went to the mentioned place, and miraculously he found the statue of the goddess.

Out of gratitude and happiness, Durlabhsheth established a temple at the same place where he found the idol. And this way, it became the origin story of one of the oldest temples in Pune. Later, the temple was renovated from time to time. And currently, it is maintained by Shri Devi Chaturshringi Mandir Trust.
