Who was Jagatguru Sreesanth Tukaram Maharaj
First of all, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Jagatguru Sreesanth Tukaram Maharaj Temple in Dehu, Pune. Sant Tukaram was a Varkari saint and poet, known for his community-oriented worship through abhyanga devotional poetry and spiritual songs known as kirtan. He lived in Dehu. A rock temple was built after his death, but it was not formally prepared as a temple. It is built in stone masonry with 36 peaks and also houses an idol of Saint Tukaram.

The foundation stone of the new building was laid by the Hon'ble President of India in August 2019. All the distinctive features of the old building have been preserved in the newly constructed building.
