Jai Jalaram
Alandi is located on the banks of the Indrayani River, and is 25 kms away from Pune. Popularly known as Devachi Alandi (God's place) has samadhi and a temple of the Saint-poet Dynaeshwar. The temple over here was built in 1570. Sant Dynanehswar wrote the Marathi translation of the Bhagwat Geeta called as 'Dyneshwari'.
Saint Dnyaneshwar, after translating the Bhagavad Gita into Marathi attained Samadhi in a cave at Alandi. Alandi is thus a place of pilgrimage and is venerated by many Hindus.
On every Kartika Ekadashi (eleventh day of the Hindu month of Kartik), a big festival is held at Alandi, when the Yatra (procession of pilgrims) reaches the town.
