Chattushringi (Chattu means four) is ''a mountain with four peaks''. The Chattushringi temple is {{convert|90|ft}} high and {{convert|125|ft}} wide and is a symbol of power and faith. One has to climb more than 200 steps to reach the shrine of Goddess [[Chaturshringi|Chattushringi]]. In the temple premises there are also temples of [[Durga|Goddess Durga]] and [[Lord Ganesh]]. This includes eight miniature idols of [[Ashtavinayaka]]. These small temples are located on the four separate hillocks.<ref name="IE">{{cite news |last= Hebbar|first= Prajakta|date=30 September 2013|title=Know Your City: Chaturshringi Temple|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/know-your-city-chaturshringi-temple/|newspaper=Indian Express }}</ref><br />

==Legend==<br />
<br />
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.<ref name="Punekar">{{cite news |last= Burange|first= Yashodhaan|date=30 July 2018|title=Pune's Chaturshringi Temple – The Story and Myth|url=https://thepunekar.com/2018/07/punes-chaturshringi-temple-the-story-and-myth/|newspaper=Punekar}}</ref><br />
