Dagduseth Ganapati Temple, Pune
Dagduseth Halwai Ganesh Tempe is an important landmark in Pune (State: Maharashtra). Established in 1893 it is one of the oldest Ganapati temples in the city. The temple is located at a short distance from the historical fort of Peshwas, Shaniwar Wada.
The construction of this temple is attributed to the sweet-maker of the city who lost his son in a plague outbreak.
The temple construction is very unique and has a beautiful stepped tower. It is painted in white and golden color and looks great against the blue sky.
The idol is 4 feet wide and 7.5 feet tall and mesmerizes everyone by its beauty. The devotees can catch a glimpse of the Ganesh idol even from outside the temple.
Jai Ganesha ! Such a beautiful temple.Thanks for an early morning darshanam of Lord Ganesha :) Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to you.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful structure.;) Maybe this is a stupid question, but what are those chords (lines) that are leading to it? Electricity or just some structural support?

ReplyDeleteI LOVE MY SHADOW
I love my shadow,
My shadow loves me;
We chat together
And don’t disagree!
My shadow and I
Prefer not to shout
As we go walking
And rambling about.
My shadow’s so wise,
I ask what she thinks;
She’s happy to share,
And then nods and winks.
My shadow and I
Are best buds, you see;
That’s why we try hard
To always agree!

Priya: Yeas he was responsible for this temple. I think he has built this temple in memory of his son who passed away due to ill health.
