Home / Destination Details
Ashtavinayak refers to the sacred circuit of eight Ganesha temples clustered around Pune. Each shrine enshrines a swayambhu (self-manifested) idol of Lord Ganesha, with its own legend, form and lore. Pilgrims traditionally visit them in a fixed sequenceâbeginning and ending at Morgaonâbelieving that the complete Yatra brings unity, prosperity and the removal of obstacles.
Embark on a spiritually enriching journey from Pune to the eight sacred Ganesha shrines of Maharashtra. This carefully planned private-cab tour lets you cover the entire Ashtavinayak circuit over 2 days and 1 night, blending devotion, local lore, one day Pune to Ashtavinayak tour by cab, and scenic drives through the Western Ghats and Konkan foothills.
Visiting all eight Ashtavinayak temples in the prescribed Shastrokta sequence is believed to remove obstacles, deepen devotion, and cleanse past karmas. Each shrine houses a self-manifested (swayambhu) murti of Lord Ganesha, with unique legends:
Mayureshwar at Morgaon: The peacock-mounted form who vanquished the demon Sindhu
Siddhivinayak at Siddhatek: Fulfiller of devoteesâ wishes, perched on the Bhima Riverâs bank
Ballaleshwar at Pali: Named for the steadfast child-devotee Ballal
Varadvinayak at Mahad: The granter of boons, famed for its open sanctum
Chintamani at Theur: The solace-giver who removes worldly worries
Girijatmaj at Lenyadri: Located in a hill-cave, born of Mother Parvati
Vigneshwar at Ozar: Vanquisher of obstacles, celebrated with grand fairs
