Ranjangaon Ganpati Temple

In Ranjangaon, villagers do not bring Ganesh idol in their houses, instead everybody comes in the temple for Ganesh pooja, in the month of Bhadrapada.

There is a special 6 day festival in the month of Bhadrapad, during which Mahabhog is offered to the temple deity on the fifth day. During this festival, the temple deity is also taken around the area in a flower be-decked palkhi (palanquin).

Large crowds gather during this festival to also witness the wrestling matches which are specially organized at this time.

On the sixth day devotees take darshan of murti & then go to Mahaganapati’s temple by performing Lotangan (prostration) on the way.(lotangan means proceeding by rolling one’s self over & over).

Puja Schedule:

Temple remains open from 5:30 in the morning till 10 at night.
