Lenyadri in September
Maharashtra, India
September makes Lenyadri a Ganesh Chaturthi anchor — and the post-monsoon reopening of the 307-step Manmodi climb. The festival (Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi) falls Saturday 12 September 2026 — the 10-day festival running through Anant Chaturdashi Tuesday 22 September 2026. The Girijatmaj murti inside Buddhist Cave 7 of 30 — the only cave-temple Ashtavinayak — receives continuous palki processions through the festival; the dindi pilgrim groups carry the procession down and back up the 307 steps in scheduled relay teams. The cave-mouth platform handles the festival density. The 307 basalt steps reopen as weather clears mid-month; ASI staff resume normal operations by Anant Chaturdashi. Daytime 22-30C with monsoon tail rains tapering through first week. The 95km Pune drive takes 3-3.5 hours through festival traffic. Lodgings at Junnar book 90 days ahead at ₹1,500-3,500 festival rates. Combine with Ozar 10km Day 2.
