The Parvati temple structure itself was made in 1749. Parvuty is the way this British photographer spelt it! Located on a central prominent hill (261 feet above ground level), Parvati was literally the cynosure of all eyes that saw Pune and indeed was the favorite subject of all works of art about Pune and also lithographs of the 19th century.

Here is one description written in 1868 by Narayan Vishnu Joshi. "In the morning the entire hilltop is covered in mist. Towards the east the city of Pune seems to be covered with woods from which a few wadas peep into view. The top of the Sarasbaug temple looks very beautiful."
