Pateshwar Shiva Temple complex is located at Degaon near
Satara in Maharashtra and there are numerous unique sculptures in the temple.
The entire temple complex is filled with numerous rare sculptures. On such
sculpture is Shivling atop Nandi.
This particular Shivling has the necessary features of Shivling
worship. The only difference is that Shivling is atop a Nandi who seems to be
meditating calmly.
Apart from the main Shiva temple with Massive Shivling there
are a couple of cave temples, Agnivrush temple, Chamunda temple, Varhadghar
temple and many small and medium sized Shiva temples. There are many rare
murtis of Mother Goddess, Ganesha and Hanuman. There are also a couple of
temple tanks.
