Directory
18 of 18 places. Festival mandals are marked so they are not mistaken for a Tuesday-morning sanctum.
Kasba Peth
श्री कसबा गणपती
The mandal calls Kasba Ganpati the local deity of Pune and the first honoured Ganpati of the immersion procession. The temple is a year-round sanctum; the public festival idol moves to a mandap.
Manache five · Year-round sanctums · Festival mandals
Pune old city
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.

Laxmi Road
गुरुजी तालीम गणपती
Third in the Manache immersion order. A wrestling-school mandal from 1887, not a description of a year-round stone sanctum in the sources used here.
Manache five · Festival mandals
Tulshibaug
तुळशीबाग गणपती
Fourth Manache mandal, founded in 1901 in a market already known for an older Ram temple. Known for large idols and for an early fibreglass image.
Manache five · Festival mandals
Kesari Wada (Gaikwad Wada)
केसरी वाडा गणपती
Fifth in today’s Manache order, and the mandal tied to Lokmanya Tilak. The wada it uses now is not the house where every historian says the first Tilak installation happened.
Manache five · Festival mandals
Budhwar Peth
श्रीमंत दगडूशेठ हलवाई गणपती
The city’s best-known public Ganpati, with a trust that publishes a daily ritual clock. It is not one of the five Manache Ganpatis.
Year-round sanctums · Festival mandals
Sarasbaug, Sadashiv Peth
सरसबाग तळ्यातला गणपती
Siddhivinayak in the middle of Saras Baug, installed in the lake that used to surround the island. Pune still calls it Talyatla Ganpati, the Ganpati in the lake, though the lake was filled.

चिंचवड देवस्थान, मोरया गोसावी
Chinchwad Gaon
चिंचवड देवस्थान, मोरया गोसावी
The Ganapatya seat on the Pavana, built around Morya Gosavi’s samadhi. The trust that publishes several Ashtavinayak timetables has its main office here.
Year-round sanctums
Behind Shaniwar Wada / Budhwar Chowk
श्रीमंत भाऊसाहेब रंगारी गणपती
The mandal at the centre of the argument about who first took Ganeshotsav out of the private house in Pune. A festival installation, with a museum-like memory of 1892 in the news accounts.
Festival mandals
Mandai
अखिल मंडई गणपती
The market mandal. Hindustan Times says the immersion procession still starts from Mandai, and that the idol is a Sharada-Ganesh.
Festival mandals
Morgaon, Baramati, Pune district
श्री मयूरेश्वर, मोरगाव
First and last temple of the Ashtavinayak yatra in the state tourism account. The peacock-rider Ganesh, in Baramati taluka.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Theur, Haveli, Pune district
श्री चिंतामणी, थेऊर
The Ashtavinayak temple in Theur, Haveli taluka, Pune district. The trust publishes a ritual list. A kilometre figure from Pune is not used, because the tourism leaflet’s own distances for Theur disagree.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Ranjangaon, Pune district
श्री महागणपती, रांजणगाव
Eighth in the leaflet’s order of the yatra, and one of the circuit temples Maharashtra Tourism places on a highway out of Pune.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Lenyadri, Golegaon, Junnar
श्री गिरीजात्मज, लेण्याद्री
The cave temple of the Ashtavinayak, in Junnar taluka. The trust’s own news is the source for how it keeps Sankashti, and for the name Angarki when that tithi falls on a Tuesday.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Ozar, Junnar, Pune district
श्री विघ्नहर, ओझर
Seventh on the leaflet’s yatra, in Junnar taluka, with a trust that publishes rituals more clearly than it publishes a full-day clock.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Siddhatek, Karjat, Ahmednagar district
श्री सिद्धीविनायक, सिद्धटेक
The hill temple on the Bhima, addressed by the trust to Karjat taluka in Ahmednagar district. The tourism leaflet’s circuit places it after Morgaon and before Pali.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Pali, Sudhagad, Raigad
श्री बल्लाळेश्वर, पाली
The Raigad Ashtavinayak with the clearest published gate hours in this guide, and a rule that the inner sanctum can be worshipped in person in the morning.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
Mahad village, Khalapur, near Khopoli
श्री वरदविनायक, महाड
The other Raigad Ashtavinayak, in Khalapur taluka near Khopoli. History is on the district site. A trustworthy daily clock was not.
Ashtavinayak · Year-round sanctums
No temple in this guide carries both of those filters.
