The Kadyawarcha Ganpati Temple is a breathtaking and auspicious location nestled in a picturesque, hilly landscape at the elevated Anjarle Village. Originally, pilgrims had to cross the river by boat, but a substantial bridge has since been built across it.

When the temple was first constructed, it had wooden pillars and an ancient structure. Many locals believed in the temple after receiving blessings from God Ganpati, and as a result, the surrounding community became aware of its power. Taking pictures inside the temple’s main gabha is prohibited. The temple was then turned into a popular tourist destination. The legend surrounding this temple is that it was originally located below a hill close to sea level, but after realizing it was being submerged by waves, it was moved to the top of the hill. In 1988, a bhaktidham was also built next to the temple, where a large number of devotees came to stay…

The followers received several blessings, revelations, and miracles from God Ganesh. These, I believe, are the ones from the Ganesh Temple, where the Ganesh Ji trunk is oriented right-sided.There is a celebration on Ganesh Jayanti every year.

There is a small, beautifully constructed Shiva temple to the left of the main temple. The shivlinga there is exquisitely crafted, and the temple area is wheelchair accessible, with a sign indicating so.A little statue of Hanumanji can be found 100 meters from the back of the temple. Nearby lies the little footprint of Ganesh Ji, which believers believe to be his original footprint. And because of these Lord’s footprints, this temple is also well-known and draws tourists

.There is a water well next to the temple where fish and turtles can be found, and devotees feed him there. There is one prasad distribution counter in the temple’s main hall.

Additionally, they take contributions online. Outside the temple area, there are numerous prasad and food counters where you may get healthy juices and meals.

The best part of the post is the photos, as usual, of which I like the nicely captured cusped dome - a classic Hindu architecture.

The footprints of Ganesh are also new to me :om:

Superb post, and another hidden gem from Konkan @Praniketmore

@Praniketmore , Wow! The journey to Kadyawarcha Ganapati Temple is like discovering a treasure chest of peace and beauty. Your depiction of the temple in a way that makes it seem magical, with its grand dome shining brightly in the peaceful hills. Kadyawarcha Ganapati temple is not just made of bricks and stones, but is a pristine place stuffed with stories and miracles. The temple’s history, from its beginnings with wooden pillars to its popularity today, we see how special it truly is. Being a staunch Bappa Ganesha bhakt it made me feel like I was on a spiritual journey myself, guided by your words towards enlightenment.
