Kashi Vishweshwar temple, Mahuli Sangam, Satara, Maharashtra, India
The Kashi Vishweshwar temple has the most impressive architecture one comes across amongst 17th-18th century temples. It was built in 1735 by Shripatrao Pant Pratinidhi. The temple plan measures 50 feet in length and 20 feet in breadth and is built in basalt stone. The stone ceiling is supported by alternate round,octagonal and square columns of short length afixed on short walls resting on a raised plinth. The ceiling consists of a central dome with a bulbous ribbed head surrounded by relatively smaller spires and a meghdambari style aedicule covering the before the entrance is the Nandi mandapa with this exquisitely carved dome. All the domes have figurines of deities moulded in stucco over a basic brickwork.
