Embark on a soul-stirring 2-day, 1-night pilgrimage through Maharashtra's sacred landscape to visit the eight revered Ashtavinayak Ganesha temples. Starting from Pimpri-Chinchwad, the journey unfolds across diverse terrains, connecting you with the unique legends and divine presence of each deity. Experience the spiritual energy of Morgaon, Siddhatek, Theur, Ranjangaon on the first day. The second day leads you to Ozar's artistry, the hill-top serenity of Lenyadri, the devoted atmosphere of Pali, and finally, the blessings of Mahad before returning. This compact yet fulfilling yatra offers a deep dive into faith and tradition, leaving you with cherished memories and spiritual enrichment.
For Day One of your Ashtavinayak Yatra, starting from Pimpri-Chinchwad, you can aim to visit the following temples:
- Morgaon (Mayureshwar)
- Siddhatek (Siddhivinayak)
- Theur (Chintamani)
- Ranjangaon (Mahaganapati)
For Day Two of your Ashtavinayak Yatra, continuing from where you likely stayed after visiting Ranjangaon, you can visit these temples:
- Ozar (Vighneshwar)
- Lenyadri (Girijatmaj)
- Pali (Ballaleshwar)
- Mahad (Varadvinayak)
- Visits to the eight Ganesha temples
- Travel between temples
- Accommodation (if overnight stays are involved)
- Meals
- Darshan at each temple
- Spiritual experience
- Personal shopping or souvenirs
- Special pujas or rituals (unless specifically requested and paid for)
- Travel insurance (usually optional)
- Entrance fees to other attractions not directly related to the temples
- Tips or gratuities for drivers or guides (unless specified in a package)
- Luxury or high-end accommodations (unless specifically booked)
- Alcoholic beverages or non-vegetarian food (due to the sacred nature of the pilgrimage)
- Extensive sightseeing beyond the temples
- Personal medical expenses
- Porterage or luggage handling fees (unless part of a package)
The traditionally recommended order is: Morgaon (Mayureshwar), Siddhatek (Siddhivinayak), Pali (Ballaleshwar), Mahad (Varadvinayak), Theur (Chintamani), Lenyadri (Girijatmaj), Ozar (Vighneshwar), and finally, a second visit to Morgaon to complete the cycle.
Yes, it is possible to visit all eight temples in 2 days and 1 night, but it requires a well-planned itinerary and can involve significant travel time between locations. Starting early each day and minimizing lengthy stops at each temple (beyond the darshan) is key. The provided itineraries outline how this can be done.
Most people aim to complete the yatra in 2 to 3 days, but it can vary depending on travel speed, time spent at each temple, and overnight stays. A very rushed trip might be possible in 1 long day, while a more relaxed pace could take 3 or more days.
