Recently, we visited Shree Siddhivinayak Mahaganapati Mandir at Titwala, Kalyan Taluka, District Thane and had a very pleasent experience. The darshan was very smooth and comfortable. We could spend good amount of time in front of Lord Ganesha praying peacefully. Shree Siddhivinayak Mahaganapati Mandir is one of the main ganesh temple and a part of Ashta Vinayaka (8 main Ganesha temples). Temple also has a small temple for lord Shiva within temple campus. The Siddhivinayaka Mahaganapati Temple is a Hindu temple located in Titwala, a small town in the Kalyan taluka of Thane district – near Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The temple is dedicated to the elephant-headed god of wisdom Ganesha. The Siddhivinayaka Mahaganapati temple built by Shakuntala with the stated legendary background was submerged under a tank. During the rule of the Peshwa Madhavrao I, to resolve the drought situation in the town, the tank was de-silted to provide drinking water to the town. It was during the de-silting operations that the temple was found buried. Soon thereafter, the renovation of the temple was undertaken and a stone temple was built. Titwala Ganesh Mandir is decorated with flowers, high pedestals and profuse garlands. Built in authentic Maharashtrian style, this temple is the epitome of auspiciousness in this city. People often believe that this mandir is famous for uniting married couples who are separated or people who wish to get married. The place is steeped in ancient legend and the temple is frequented by a very large number of devotees on account of the belief that separated married couples could be united and marriages of desired people could be fixed easily if the Ganesha image installed in the temple is worshipped with devotion.This temple is frequented mostly on Tuesdays. Located at around 70-75 Kms from Mumbai, Titwala is famous for ganeshji temple. It is also one of temple of 8sth Vinayak located in different parts of Maharashtra. Main Garbha Griha has fencing though which devotees pass to take Darshan. It has a small sitting and hawan area in front of main idol. Nearby to temple there is a lake where one can enjoy boating. Lots of shop are around selling pooja items & prasad. You can keep your belongings and footware in those shops. Overall arrangements for darshan are good. Even when there is a rush and long queues, one can take a proper darshan of lord Ganesha. Though the temple has so much historical and religious importance, I think the temple premises are not fully developed. If local authorities develop the surrounding premises properly (like done at another Ashta Vinayaka Temple at Ranjangaon, near Pune), it would be of great help to devotees. Temple is very quiet and one feels blessed while visiting temple for Darshan. One can travel by suburban local from Mumbai to Titwala which is one of train station on Mumbai Suburban network (approx 2 hrs travel from Mumbai VT to Titwala Rly station). From Titwala Rly station, Siddhivinayaka Mahaganapati Temple is at walking distance (or one can take an autorickshaw to reach temple). From Pune, Siddhivinayaka Mahaganapati Temple is approx at 160 kms distance (4 hrs by road).

Titwala is believed to be the putative site of the hermitage of sage Kanva, foster parent of Shakuntala who was born here. The place is steeped in ancient legend and the temple is frequented by a very large number of devotees on account of the belief that separated married couples could be united and marriages of desired people could be fixed easily if the Ganesha image installed in the temple is worshipped with devotion.According to legend, this village was part of Dandakaranya forest where the Katkari tribe lived (the tribal hamlets are located even now close to the town across the Kalu river, approached only by boats).Sage Kanva had his hermitage here. Kanva was the author of several hymns of the scripture Rigveda and one of the Angirasas. He had adopted Shakuntala, who was abandoned immediately after her birth by her parents, sage Vishwamitra and the celestial damsel Menaka. Shakuntala’s story has been narrated in the Hindu epic Mahabharata and dramatised by Kālidāsa, considered the greatest poet and dramatist in Sanskrit language, in his play called the Abhijñānaśākuntalam (“The Recognition of Shakuntala")According to legend, this village was part of Dandakaranya forest where the Katkari tribe lived (the tribal hamlets are located even now close to the town across the Kalu river, approached only by boats).[3] Sage Kanva had his hermitage here.

Review of Titwala Ganpati Temple The Titwala Ganpati Temple, located in Titwala, Maharashtra, is a revered pilgrimage site that draws devotees from across the state. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the temple is steeped in mythology and history, offering a serene and spiritual experience to visitors. The temple is believed to be the place where Shakuntala and King Dushyant first met, as mentioned in Kalidasa’s epic Abhijnanashakuntalam. According to local lore, Shakuntala worshipped this Ganesha idol to reunite with her husband, making the temple a symbol of love and devotion. The architecture of the temple is simple yet elegant, with a peaceful atmosphere that provides a break from the bustle of daily life. The idol of Lord Ganpati is striking, exuding divinity and calm. The temple is especially crowded during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Sankashti Chaturthi, when thousands of devotees gather to seek blessings. One of the highlights of visiting this temple is the scenic surroundings. Situated near a lake, the area offers a tranquil setting for reflection and prayer. The temple premises are clean and well-maintained, and basic facilities like parking and food stalls are available, making it convenient for visitors. A visit to the Titwala Ganpati Temple is not just about spiritual fulfillment but also about experiencing the cultural richness of Maharashtra. It is an ideal destination for families and devotees seeking divine blessings or a peaceful day trip. However, during peak times, the temple can get quite crowded, which might lead to longer wait times for darshan. Planning your visit early in the day or on non-festival days can enhance your experience. Overall, the Titwala Ganpati Temple is a must-visit for those seeking spiritual solace and cultural immersion.
