Puneshwar

Punyeshwar Mahadev Mandir ^[1] was a Shiva temple along the bank of the river Mutha in Pune. Along with Puneshwar there existed another temple named Narayaneshwar. In the late thirteenth century Puneshwar temple was pulled down^[2] and converted into a dargah now called Dhakta (Younger) Sheikh Salla Dargah,^[3] which stands in its place to this day. The Narayaneshwar was also converted into the Senior Sheikh Salla dargah around the same time. In 2006, a wall along the river collapsed leading to finding of old artefacts of the Puneshwar temple under the dargah.
