Malegaon Budruk is 8 km away from Baramati City. It is a historic town which was once fortified. The fortification remains can be seen east of the town through monumental arched entrances and bastions. There are old Marāṭhā-period mansions and other old housing structures in the town. Bhairavanātha temple, a mosque, Kāśī-Viśveśvara temple, Nāgeśvara temple, and Yamāī Devī temple are some of the old structures in the town.

Viṭṭhala temple

Viṭṭhala Temple Shrine: There is an old temple in the village called, the Viṭṭhala temple. It commences with a wooden maṇḍapa, which could belong to the late Marāṭhā period. Following this, a stone maṇḍapa houses all the divine representations. It features four complete pillars and twelve pilasters, each pillar standing approximately 2 meters tall. The maṇḍapa has an entrance to the north. Within the maṇḍapa, all the deities have been consecrated. The principal idols of Viṭṭhala and Rukmiṇī are prominently placed on a pedestal. In the right corner, one can find Gaṇapatī also positioned on a pedestal. Moving to the left corner, there's a Śivaliṅga with its companion Nandī. The temple has no garbhagṛha and antarāḷa. The lintel of the entrance to the stone maṇḍapa bears sculptures of Gaṇapatī, ploughshare, and bullock carts. These sculptures indicate that the temple does not belong to the early medieval period and could probably belong to the 16th century CE. The temple walls are plain on the outside. There is no superstructure in the temple. There is no fencing wall to the temple and the temple lies in a dilapidated condition.

Concluding Remarks: The temple's architecture is simple yet distinctive. While it lacks traditional antarāḷa and garbhagṛha components, the statues within are intricately detailed. The stone maṇḍapa entrance is engraved with a plowshare and bullock-cart, symbols historically linked to the Patil, the local town leaders. Similar engravings can be seen at the Devī temple in Korhale Budruk, suggesting the Patil family's involvement in constructing or renovating this temple.
