Kondhaneshwar Shiv Mandir - Ghera Sinhagad

सिंहगडावरती पोहोचल्यानंतर गडावर असणाऱ्या मंदिरापैकी एक मंदिर म्हणजेच कोंढाणेश्वर.आपणास माहिती आहे की सिंहगडाचे जुने नाव "कोंढाणा" असे होते.कदाचित कोंढाणेश्वराच्या नावावरुन हे नाव प्रचलित झाले असावे.मंदिर छोटेसे आहे अगदी कमी जागेत हे मंदिर आजही दिमाखात उभे आहे.नुकतेच १६ सप्टेंबर २०१८ ला हे मंदिर निवांतपणे पाहण्याचा योग आला.

Nice place

Must visit place in Pune but before visit read the history of this fort so that you can really feel the greatness of Shivaji Maharaj.

Shiva is the "destroyer of evil and the transformer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu.[1][12]In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is the Supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe.[13][14][15] In the goddess tradition of Hinduism called Shaktism, the goddess is described as supreme, yet Shiva is revered along with Vishnu and Brahma. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Parvati the equal complementary partner of Shiva.[9][16] He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.[10] According to the Shaivism sect, the highest form of Shiva is formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman,[17] and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe.[18][19][13] Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash[1] as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.[20][21][22] The iconographical attributes of Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishula as his weapon and the damaru. He is usually worshipped in the aniconic form of Lingam.[2] Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity, revered widely by Hindus, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.[23][24]
