A famous saint in the Marathi literature, Saint Dnyaneshwar, who lived right here in Pune, was known extensively known for his enlightened state of life and was believed to have blessed with power of miracles. Legend says that once another well-known saint decided to test the powers and knowledge of Dnyaneshwar and was on his way to Alandi on a tiger’s back. When Dnyaneshwar got this news, he decided to counter this guy’s pride and simply tapped the wall surrounding his house and boom! The wall moved like a car and steered it’s way to the tiger riding dude!
The remains of this magical wall are still maintained in Alandi.
