One of the best Ganpati Temples... It's completely calming and peaceful. The only problem is it is inside the market and there is a lot rush around...

A very lovely place to visit and have Bappa darshan. This temple is having its historical importance founded by His highness Patwardhan sir. The temple is now owned and governed by his grandson, excellency Patwardhan sir. The temple is situated in the heart of the city, lacated in the main Bazar. The bappa idol is very beautiful and has been built with old style.

Temple premises is peaceful. It has been maintained nicely but the reason for giving 3 stars is because the authorities need to built good washrooms on the premise. Extremely shabby state of washrooms, not expected in such a place which is beautiful otherwise.
