On the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Utsav, we present to you a short video about The Ranjangaon Ganpati temple or well know as Mahaganpati of Ranjangaon.

Located in Shirur Taluka about 51.5 km (via Pune - Ahmednagar Highway - in 1 hr 31 min) from Pune, this is the eighth temple visited by devotees who set out on the divine Ashtavinayak tour/Darshan. The idol at Ranjangaon is of Mahaganpati, the most powerful representation of Lord Ganesha. In the events or Ganesh Jayati days, lots of small shops here for shopping and the sweet Prashad (Pedha) of Lord Ganesha. Managanpati is portrayed, seated on a lotus, flanked by his consorts Siddhi (spiritual power) and Riddhi (prosperity). The idol of Lord Ganesha is also named as 'Mahotkat', and it is said that the idol has 10 trunks and 20 hands. Mahaganpati is depicted as having eight, ten or twelve arms. It is after invoking this form of Ganpati that Shiva vanquishedthe demon Tripurasur and so he is also known as Tripurarivade Mahaganpati. ओङ्कारसंनिभमिभाननमिन्दुभालं मुक्ताग्रबिन्दुममलद्युतिमेकदन्तम् लम्बोदर कलचतुर्भुजमादिदेवं ध्यायेन्महागणपतिं मतिसिद्धिकान्तम् ॥ Meaning - in English The pearl-tipped dot, the immaculate brightness, the one tooth, Lambodara kalachaturbhujama adidevam, One should meditate on Lord Mahaganapati, t he destroyer of all perfection of mind.
