Temple
Bhau Rangari Ganpati
The first sarvajanik (public) Ganesh mandal, founded 1892.
The story
Before Lokmanya Tilak popularised the public Ganesh festival, dyer-merchant Bhausaheb Rangari installed this fierce demon-slaying Ganpati in his own building. The original wooden idol and the founders' wada still stand on the narrow Budhwar Peth lane.
