Sri Balaji Mandir
Sri Balaji Mandir Pune is a close replica of the famous Balaji Temple of Tirumala, Tirupati. Therefore, people also call it Prati Balaji Mandir and Mini Balaji Mandir. It is built amidst lush green landscape, in a peaceful environment. And it is a treat for those who want to get the blessings of Lord Balaji. All pujas and sevas in this Balaji Mandir at Pune are performed by priests from the Tirupati Balaji Temple. You even get laddoo as prasad (like Tirupati Temple).Shree Balaji Mandir Pune is at Ketkawale, near Narayanpur. It is about 45 kilometres away from Pune. The road passes through green fields, gurgling streams and many small cascading waterfalls as you approach the temple. So, even the route to the temple is a memory worth savouring. The Tirupati Balaji Mandir near Pune has been constructed under the guidance of Tirumala Tirupati Temple Devasthanam. As you enter the premises, you'll come across the beautifully crafted entrance gate. It is made up of stone. The temple walls have carvings similar to the original temple. And the interior is decorated with woodwork.
