Architecture

People aren’t very sure of the time or era when the shrine was built, but most of them agree on the fact that the Chakreshwar Mahadev Mandir is an extremely ancient shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is not a huge one and stands on a small piece of land but it is far and wide well-known as the holy place where Swami Samarth performed his dhyan and pratishtha of a Ram Mandir (temple dedicated to Lord Rama) close by and subsequently he blessed a Shishya who went on to take a ‘SajivSamadh’ at this very place.
