Mahaganapati
Ranjangaon
Presiding Deity:
Mahaganapati
Ranjangaoncha Mahaganapati is located enroute to Aurangabad, Maharashtra in a village at a distance of about 50 km from Pune.
A demon named Tripurasura built three powerful citadels known as the evil Tripuram forts and caused suffereing to all beings with a boon of invincibility granted by Shiva. Shiva intervened and realizing that he could not defeat the demon,heeded Narada Muni's advice and shot a single arrow after saluting Ganesha, that pierced through the citadels, bringing an end to the demons reign.
A variation of this legend common in South India is that Ganesha caused the axle of Shiva's chariot to break, as he headed to battle the demon without saluting Ganesha. Upon realizing this, Shiva saluted his son Ganesha, and then proceded victoriously against the powerful demon.
In this temple that dates back to Peshwa Madhav Rao,Mahaganapati is depicted seated on a lotus, flanked by his consorts Siddhi and Ridhi.
