Western ghats, or Sahyadri as we all call it as, is a treasure trove of spectacular landscapes, biodiversity, flora, fauna, some amazing geological wonders and manmade monuments. With the increasing pressure from human encroachment, all these elements are under stress and in turn are under depletion. Western ghats should be left untouched by human beings, to protect their future generations from getting short of resources, such as water, energy and clean air. The important elements of western ghats, which need protection are highlighted in the new version of Photo journal , Me Sahyadri Magazine. The various issues of journal have a brief of inspiring subjects such as birds, mammals, forts, ancient caves, snakes and the ambiance.

Bhuleshwar is the ancient temple, located on south east of Pune, at the eastern end of Bhuleshwar hill range. The temple has Hemandpanti structure, modified, restored, damaged and fortified in various times in the History. The temple is assumed to be from Yadav era, however no direct inscriptions are available about the origin of the temple. There are various aspects of this temple from the visitors point of view. In this photoessay I have presented some of the photographs of the ruins of sursundari sculptures in the temple of Bhuleshwar. But the story does not stop here. The Bhuleshwar is located in the dry arid area with small hills. The grassland around Bhuleshwar and Karha Platue is in great endanger due to the impending urbanization and use of land for non agricultural purpose. This has created great danger for the wild habitants of the plateau. Though traditionally these habitants were indirectly protected by the farmers on the plateau, the future looks blink.

The fortified Bhuleshwar temple many sursundari sculptures on outer wall of its Antaral. Most of the sculptures have been destroyed in various invasions in past. The sculptures are extremely mind blowing and showcase the art of sculpture making of the era.
