Pataleshwar Temple, Pune, India Address: Jangali Maharaj Rd, Revenue Colony, Shivajinagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411005 My Experience: Pataleshwar is a cave temple and just in the middle of the city.

It's a very peaceful temple. Mahatma Phule Museum, Pune, India Address:  1204/10, Ghole Rd, Shivajinagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411004 Timing: Opens every day from 9am to 5pm.
