Kasba Ganpati Pune

Since this deity is considered the lord of new beginnings, the Rajmata took this as an auspicious omen and ordered the establishment of a new colony around the area. Even today, Kasba Ganpati is the first in line to lead the immersion procession.

Established in early 1893, Kasba Ganpati is known as ‘Manacha Pahila Ganpati’ or the most revered Ganpati in town. Considered the Grama-Devata of Pune, the story of Kasba Ganpati goes back to 1700.

The temple was built by Shivaji Maharaj & Jijabai Bhosale in the year 1639. The immersion process at the end of the 10th day is led by Shri Kasba Ganpati. Only after the idols from this mandal are immersed can the other mandals begin theirs.
