Abstract :

The Somnath or Someshwar temple is situated in Pimpri-Dumala. It is 54 km. from Pune city. It bears beautiful sculptures,which is yet to be studied in detail. These sculptures are important sources to know the Socio-religious scenario of the contemporary society of the region. This temple also has some different features than other temple of Maharashtra. It is one of the few known medieval temples in Maharashtra where we come across the rare images of Nath-siddhas along with other cultic images. There are also more than twelve loose images of different gods, placed near the temple. Two beautiful step wells have been constructed along with Someshwar and Rameshwar temples. Art and architecture of these wells is similar and seems to be contemporary of the Someshwar temple.
