The legend associated
with the temple is that, once there was a rich and prosperous merchant named
Durlabhsheth Pitambardas Mahajan who was an ardent believer of Goddess
Saptashrungi Devi and visited Vani every now and then. But as he grew older, he
could no longer travel and this hindered him from visiting the temple and it
bought him sorrow in his heart, he prayed Saptashrungi Devi with tears and then
one night the Goddess Saptashrungi Devi appeared in his dream and told him,
"if you can not come to me, I will come to you & stay near you."
She told him to come to a mountain situated in the North-West of Pune & dig
there. The place as described by the goddess was traced out and a miracle
happened as he found a natural statue of the goddess (swayambhu devi). He
constructed the temple at that place and this is the same temple which was
renovated from time to time, which is the present temple.
Sharad Navratri is the
most celebrated here.
