Hey there, folks! If you’re in Pune and looking to pay a visit to the Omkareshwar Temple in Shaniwar Peth, you might have to hold off for a bit. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out that the temple is currently submerged in floodwaters, making it inaccessible to worshippers and visitors.
But here’s the interesting part – this year’s Shravana Somwar coincides with the first day of the Shravan month, which apparently happens only once in 71 years. The last time this rare alignment occurred was way back in 1953. Talk about a unique celestial event, right?
The Omkareshwar Temple, originally built between 1740 and 1760, is a significant landmark in Pune. It was founded by Shivaram Bhat, the spiritual guru of the Peshwas, with some helping hands from Chimaji Appa, the brother of Peshwa ruler Bajirao Peshwa.
Known for its grand courtyards that are usually bustling with worshippers and meditators, the temple is currently off-limits due to the flood situation. But fear not, once the waters recede, the temple is expected to reopen its doors to devotees.
So, for now, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that the water levels go down soon, allowing the Omkareshwar Temple to resume its sacred duties. Stay tuned for more updates on this unique situation!
