History of Temple
Dagadusheth and his wife, Laxmibai, faced the tragic loss of their only son to a plague epidemic. To find solace, they decided to build the Ganapati temple as a way to heal themselves. The temple, constructed in 1893, has since become a cherished site for devotees and is one of the most respected in Pune. The legacy of Dagadusheth continued through his nephew, Govindsheth, who played a crucial role in managing the temple's festivities.
