Pune old city
Tambdi Jogeshwari
तांबडी जोगेश्वरी
Second in the Manache order because the temple is the village goddess. The year-round shrine is the Devi temple. The mandal’s Ganesh idol is immersed and made again each year.
History
- Hindustan Times says Tambdi Jogeshwari temple is one of the oldest in the city, built around the idol by Trimbak Bendre in 1545, and that the Peshwas sought the goddess’s blessings before a new mission. Hindustan Times
- Mumbai Mirror gives a different building date for the same tradition: the idol appeared in 1545 in a Durga temple, and Timbak Bendre built the temple in 1705. The two papers do not agree. This guide does not pick a year. Mumbai Mirror · Hindustan Times
Why it matters
- Hindustan Times says the mandal holds second place because Tambdi Jogeshwari is the village goddess. Each year that Ganesh idol is immersed and a new one is made. It names sculptor D. M. Gulunjkar, whose family was then in its fourth generation on the idol, and says the face resembles an African elephant. Hindustan Times
- Mumbai Mirror says the visarjan idol goes on a 13 kg silver palanquin, and that Tilak gave the temple second honour. Mumbai Mirror
