Full journey capture of Pune - Narayanpur trip onboard the Mercedes Benz 3 Axle Bus negotiating the DIVE Ghat curves. 

Narayanpur is a small village located in Purandhar valley in Pune district, Maharashtra, India. It is located about 35km southerly to Pune city. One can reach Narayanpur from Pune either from Dive ghat and Saswad or from Katraj Ghat and Mumbai-Pune-Satara Road. Narayanpur is situated at the bottom of famous Purandar fort. Lord Indra's second name is Purandar. This place became sacred because Indra made austerity on a nearby mountain, hence the name Purandhar valley. This place is also known as Narayanpur by the ancient Narayaneshwar temple. Narayanpur is also the village of Changdev Maharaj.

Narayanpur must be seen by both - the pilgrims as well as the nature lovers - because of 2 temples "Lord Datta" and "Narayaneshwar" and the beauty of the Purandar valley. In Monsoon season the scene of Purandar valley is beautiful. The famous Prati Balaji mandir at Ketkawale, is located 10 km far, [1]southerly to Narayanpur.

The temple of Narayaneshwar here is very old. This temple and 3 sculptures in the temple are very pretty. These sculptures are said to be of 'Yadav' era.

Narayanpur is famous for their Lord Ek Mukhi Datta. Usually lord Dattatreya has 3 faces but in Narayanpur there is Ek Mukhi Datta. The statue of Lord Ek Mukhi Datta is very beautiful. You can also see the Padukas i.e. footwear of Lord Datta here. These were placed in the sanctum by Lord Datta himself before he left for Samadhi. A tree of "Audumbar" here is very old and is worshiped by pilgrims.

Balaji temple near Narayanpur,Saswad,Pune
It is amazingly the replica of Tirupathi Balaji. The private property owned by trust of Venkys is neat,tidy,clean.the security is tight though at times, we feel it is rather overdone !
They can allow entry via short cut ,while maintaining the security still, instead of going through 3 sides of a temple by old and ailing, taking a long detour, especially ,when there is no crowd but only a handful of devotees, like when we visited on 12 th of nov morning at 11 a.m.
Another good thing about the Trust is that they offer Free Meals to all those who visit the temple, in a large Dining Hall, which is maintained neat and clean.
