Temples
8 of 18 places. Festival mandals are marked so they are not mistaken for a Tuesday-morning sanctum.
Kasba Peth
Shri Kasba Ganpati
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.

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.

Laxmi Road
Guruji Talim Ganpati
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.

Tulshibaug
Tulshibaug Ganpati
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.

Kesari Wada (Gaikwad Wada)
Kesari Wada Ganpati
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.

Budhwar Peth
Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati
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.

Behind Shaniwar Wada / Budhwar Chowk
Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati
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.

Mandai
Akhil Mandai Ganpati
अखिल मंडई गणपती
The market mandal. Hindustan Times says the immersion procession still starts from Mandai, and that the idol is a Sharada-Ganesh.
