Why Special

Eight self-manifested Ganesha temples scattered across western Maharashtra, traditionally visited as a single 3-5 day pilgrimage circuit from Pune. The eight temples in canonical order: Mayureshwar (Morgaon), Siddhivinayak (Siddhatek), Ballaleshwar (Pali), Varadvinayak (Mahad/Raigad), Chintamani (Theur), Girijatmaj (Lenyadri rock-cut caves), Vighnahar (Ozar), Mahaganapati (Ranjangaon). Each idol is said to have appeared on its own, distinguishing this circuit from the thousands of other Ganesha temples in the state.
