Shri
Siddheshwar is the Gramdaivat of Solapur Smart city. The Siddheshwar temple was built by a yogi, Shri
Siddharameshwar, who was a devotee of Sri Mallikajuna of Srisailam. It is said
that the shrine was built 600 to 700 years back by the Habbus who were disciples
of saint Shri Siddharameshwar.
A Siddheshwar Temple is located at the heart of
the city. It is surrounded by a large water tank. It is believed that Sri
Siddharameshwar dug the lake himself, when all the holy rivers came and asked
for permission to reside in the lake, thus making it sacred.
Shri Siddharameshwar himself attained Jeeva
Samadhi in the temple complex itself, and his Samadhi itself draws a lot of
crowds. Shri Siddheshwar temple is dedicated to Lord Siddheshwar, who has other
forms as Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Siddharameshwar was a great contributor to
