    The Pisharnath Mahadev Mandir is a Shiva temple located in the hill-station of Matheran in Maharashtra, India. This temple is the oldest in Matheran and the deity Piśarnāth is the grama devata (village deity). The lingam here is swayambhū and appears in an extraordinary titled ‘L’ shape and is covered with sindoor. This ancient temple is located on the banks of a lake now known as "Charlotte". The surroundings of the temple are extremely beautiful and secluded. The place is at an altitude of about 2516 feet above sea level. Matheran itself is a very famous hill-station and is an attractive tourist spot. Pisharnath Temple is an ancient shrine positioned on the left banks of the unruffled Charlotte Lake. Adorned with lush greenery on all the sides, it is a noteworthy religious destination sited in the township of Matheran. Known to be the divine abode of Lord Pisharnath, this Hindu shrine attracts a huge number of devotees. According to local legends, the presiding deity of this temple possesses the power of bestowing good fortunes upon his devotees. The temple is located in a serene spot, in the vicinity of the immaculate Charlotte Lake. Plush, velvety lawns encircle the holy premises creating a tender and tranquil haven for visitors to repose and recline. A perfect setting for engaging in some soul-searching that will bring you immense peace of mind. Once you are done meditating, observe and get engrossed in the dazzling beauty of the Charlotte Lake appearing incredibly magnificent and splendid.

    This temple is situated at the bank of the lake. It has amazing view out side.There are few shops of the snacks around this temple. You can side in the side of the lake and enjoy the beauty of the nature. To reach this temple you have to cross the mini dam located there. Entrance of the Lord's point is just in front of this temple gate.

    I often rest at this place for more than 30 minutes. Because the cool breeze coming from charlotte lake is awesome and the view is near perfect. Temple is good, cool and well sheltered. It is a meeting point of two trails. And also starting trail for lords point from where you can have a exotic view of whole valley. At Lord's point, telescopes are present. From here you can see hidden wonders in those mountains.

    Peaceful place to take rest after long walk. The big bell sound adds positive vibration to the place.

    An excellent place to sit and gather your thoughts on things simple and/or sublime. One instruction on the entrance to the sanctum area, though, goes unread and so unadhered to. It calls for the visitors to refrain from entering with any leather products including belts, purses and wallets.
