Admire the east-facing idol sitting in a cross-legged posture, with a broad forehead, 20 arms, and 10 trunks. You can easily access the site, which has a parking lot and charges an entrance fee.

The core purpose of getting a glimpse of God idol is in question. VIP pass is general practice, so can't argue much. However letting free entry from side and vip entry from front of temple is sign of racist. Place is kept clean and tidy.

This is one of the most visited temple in ashtvinayak as it's just beside Pune Aurangabad Highway. car parking is paid approx.₹30. you may spend approx 15-20 mins on normal day and 30-45 mins approx on weekends subject to crowd. COVID 19 precautions are followed strictly. You need to walk approx half km to take Darshan. This place have garden exit. Temple is near and clean and is crowded.#Mahaganpati #ashtvinayak

A very very holy place and one of the idols from Ashtavinayaka.. Its believed to be created by Lord Shiva. We started our journey from Wagholi, approx 35kms from Wagholi. Road is good, we can enjoy the ride, lots of Dhabas and petrol pumps one can see while heading there. Inside there are many small temples of Lord Shiva and other Gods also there is a beautiful garden which was there, but unfortunately it was closed at the time of visit. Cleanliness and maintainance could be better. GANPATI BAPPA MORYA...

Visited this place in june 2022. It was too crowded on weekend and took almost 2 hrs in queue. There is direct entry as well but I did not opt for it. Better to visit this place early morning.

Ranjangaon Ganapathi is the 7th Asthavinayak temple we visited next from ozar that was one hour away. Built by Peshwa dynasty this temple faces east. Here Lord Ganesha is called as mahotkat where He is seen with 10 trunks and 20 hands. As we came out of the temple, we took a long round walk where I found a mandap with two huge elephant statues to sit and rest. This temple was much later renovated by Indore kings.
