Shri Ganpati Panchayatan Sansthan, Sangli — Attraction in Maharashtra

A very beautiful, heart-pleasing and a historic place where Sanglikars are proud of, where anyone from all over the world never leaves Sangli without coming here. Patvardhan Raje, ruler of the Sangli kingdom, built this temple in the 1800s. In this temple, you will find everything from carvings to ancient artefacts. The temple is spread over a very large area in the center of which is seated Ganarai, the adorable deity of Sangli, surrounded by four temples, one is the Shiva temple, the second is the Suryanarayana temple, the third is the Chintamanishwari Devi temple and the fourth temple is the Lakshminarayana temple. As this area has already expanded, a small garden has been created on the side. Earlier, Bablu Hatti of Sangli Sansthan and Gajraj Hatti used to live there and now after the death of Bablu Hatti, a permanent temple of Navagraha was built there and Navagraha's temple is next to Kenganeshwari Devi, the village goddess of Sangli. There is a temple. The entire area was already under the rule of the Patvardhan governments, so the surrounding area is still known by their name, except for a certain part of the Mai Ghat area behind it, some places are still under the Sangli state. Talking about the temple premises, there is also a big hall which is dedicated for special auspicious activities and many events are celebrated here. Even today during Ganeshotsav, His Highness Vijayasimha Raje Patwardhan, the current Ruler of Sangli Sansthan, attends and the special thing here is that during Ganeshotsav, a Ganesha called Chor Ganapati is installed after a few days. And just a few days ago, new culminations of four temples around the Ganpati temple were installed here. However, if you go to see this temple, it is very attractive, so I would tell every person who comes from outside that she must come once and experience the blissful peace...

This is one of biggest, most serene & divine Ganapati Temple founded by the Royal family of Patwardhans. The temple is built from chiseled black granite stone & the architecture is one of the most beautiful one. The campus area is huge & surrounded by guard walls from all around like a fort. You are greeted by a grand entrance door built in a red stone facade. There's a place up above the door where musical instruments ( Sanai-chughada) are played. After entering the campus you are greeted with a beautiful garden with cascading water. The temple inside is beautifully decorated with intricate & polished wood work which projects its royalness. The Ganesh idol is made of super white marble & is accompanied by Goddesses Riddhi-Siddhi. There are four 4 temples at the 4 corners of the main temple viz.
