This hill, located in Southern Pune, is visible from many parts of Pune. The temple atop, after a climb, is dedicated to Parvati, Vishnu, Ganesh, Kartikeya and Devadeshwar.

It is one of the most popular destinations for walkers and the health conscious (besides the devotees) who make their way as early as 5.00 am as they climb the 108 steps up the hill. It is said that at this spot the Peshwa ruler Balaji Baji Rao watched the British defeat at the Battle of Kirkee.

Located on this hill is a fairly interesting museum that commemorates the Peshwa rule and a Ganesh temple.
