We hope that you will celebrate Ganeshotsav 2024 by visiting these amazing pandals and sharing the festive occasion with the community as it was intended.
Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 was celebrated on September 7. The annual commemoration of the Ganpati festival, Ganeshotsav - which is a 10-day commemoration where devotees remember and pray to Lord Ganesha and welcome him into their homes - will also be marked from this day. The grand celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi and Ganapati festival became a common practice across the country. However, one of the first known grand celebrations was promoted across Maharashtra, as Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj promoted this festival. After the start of the British Raj, the Ganesh festival lost state patronage. It became a private family celebration in Maharashtra until its revival by Indian freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya Tilak. Ever since, various iconic Ganesh Pandals and Ganapati idols need to be visited during this festive time. As we continue celebrating Ganeshotsav 2024, here are the top 5 Ganesh Pandals, popularly known as Manache 5 Ganpati - Kasba Ganpati, Tambdi Jogeshwari, Guruji Talim, Tulshibaug Ganpati and Kesari Wada Ganpati that you should visit in Pune.

3. Guruji Talim Ganpati
One of the most unique things about Pune is the existence of Manacha Ganpati. These are 5 Ganpati idols that embodied the idea of unity during the divide-and-rule era of the British Raj. Guruji Talim Ganpati is the third Ganpati on this list and has a very unique and intriguing history. According to locals, Guruji Talim Ganpati is the first Ganesh mandal in Pune to spread the message of communal harmony. Started by Nanasaheb Bhrivile, Bhiku Shinde and Sheikh Kasam Vallad in 1887, it continues to symbolise Hindu-Muslim unity. View Guruji Talim Ganpati 2024 Photos and HD Wallpapers.
