A major commercial road named after him, Jangli Maharaj lived in Pune during the late 19th century. The temple is built in his honour and his samdhi (grave) is placed around which the temple is built. He was a great spiritual leader and apparently he had all the spiritual chakras enlightened. People worship this place, especially during festivals and it is decorated with lights and laterns. Local people of the area serve a delicious prasad too on these special occasions. Tripura poornima is the day you must visit this place. The entire place is lit up with diyas and it looks mesmerising. The temple is surrounded by lush green forest which makes it a perfect place for chanting.
