Chintaman Ganesh Temple

Location

Built around 11th century, this Ganesh stone temple is located in the middle of the market. A marvelous shrine in white, the deity in this temple is believed to be Swayamabhu. The temple displays finely-carved stone pillars in the assembly hall which proves its age-old inviolability.

Believed to be the hinderer of all obstacles, Lord Ganesh is the first to be worshipped God in the Hindu pantheon. The deity who is flanked by his consorts, Ridhhi and Siddhi on either side, imposes a feeling of peace and tranquility to the devotee. Devotees crammed to this holy place because the deity here is conventionally known as Chintaharan Ganesh meaning "the redeemer from worldly anxieties".
