Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 The Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Sarvajanik Ganpati Trust, based in Pune was established in the year 1893 and has thus been in the service of devotees since 108 years. It was in 1893 when Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak gave a public form to the celebration of the festival of Ganpati and made it a genuinely people's festival. The Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Sarvajanik Ganpati trust exists from the year of the inception of the sarvajanik (public) Ganpati festival and is the fulcrum of all sarvajanik(public) celebrations in Maharashtra. Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesh Festival is the jewel in the crown of Maharashtra's long history of community Ganesh festival. It is distinguished by its endeavour to uphold Maharashtra?s cultural heritage.This famous temple of Pune is known as Dagdu Halwai Datta Mandir. Devotees residing in Pune and around often visit this temple and offer their prayers. Everyday, Poojas are performed twice. \\\/// / \ | \\ // | ( | (.)
