Ozar in March
Maharashtra, India
March at Ozar holds clean operational temperature through first three weeks. Gudi Padwa Thursday 19 March 2026 brings extended morning ritual at Vighneshwar and the wider Junnar-valley Marathi community attends. Daytime 20-33C, nights 14-16C. The sone-Ganesh murti — the gold-leaf-coated form — runs standard 5am-9:30pm darshan; the 1785 Chimaji-Appa-era stone interior holds light cool through the day. The Kukdi river runs at low pre-monsoon flow; the temple ghat clean. Sankashti Chaturthi mid-month standard density. The 85km Pune drive remains 2 hours via Chakan-Junnar. Lenyadri 10km combinable in the same morning — both temples align easily on a Pune day-trip schedule. Combine optionally with Shivneri Fort at Junnar (where Shivaji was born in 1630) for a Maharashtra-heritage extension. By final week the heat ramp arrives — mid-day temple courtyard becomes uncomfortable. Lodgings ₹500-1,400. Last clean window before April compression.
