- Viswanatha Redd... TIndia72 contributionsA very beautiful Jain temple with statue of Lord Mahavir in the main temple. I went in the morning hours and there were very few devotees. It felt very peaceful. Lord Parvasnath, Santhinath and other thirtankars statues were there in the adjoining temples. All the statues were made of five metals and the golden exterior makes them beautiful to look at. I was suprised to find Padmavathi Devi minitemple also. There was Jain agama written on metal sheets that were affixed to the inside walls of temple complex. I think this is why it is called Agama mandir. I observed Jains covering their mouths and approaching the inner sanctum of the temple. I think it could be the custom. One can walk to Jal Mandir from this main temple. This marble Jale Mandir also had Lord Mahavir as the main diety. The views of the Pune city from here are spectacular. There is place of Jain pilgrims to stay and eat in the temple complex. Overall, a good temple to visit on a weekend. I suggest staying for an hour after having made the effort to reach there.Written 5 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NadineyycCalgary, Canada133 contributionsWonderful location on top of a hill that is seen as you drive up to it. It is 2 hours from Pune. Roads are good! You can drive right up to the temple though it is a very curvy road ! Amazing temple with many carved pillars and deities all over. A must stop when you are in Pune. There were only 7-8 people there - so very quiet and peaceful to really take-in the place.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Maharashtra state is famous for Ashtavinayaka temples that are special and sacred. These eight temples are located in different places of Maharashtra and all of them are considered Swayambhu which means self originated. Typically people follow this Ashtavinayaka Yatra in sequence in which Ranjangaon Vinayak is eighth one.
Legend has it that once Lord Shiva had to bottle a powerful demon Tripurasura whom he could not vanquish easily, so Lord Shiva took help of Ganesha to defeat Tripurasura. It is believed that this temple was built as the spot where Lord Shiva defeated Tripurasura. Due to the same this Ganesh is also called as Tripurarivade Mahaganapathi.
Interesting facts about Ranjangaon Mahaganapathi:
1. This temple was built by Sardar Kibe during 9 -10th Century. Same is renovated by Madhavrao I during 18th Century. He constructed a beautiful entrance gate with Jay and Vijay flanking the sides.
2. This temple construction is so unique that the Sun rays fall directly on Lord Ganesha Idol during Dakshinayan.
3. Ranjangaon Ganapati idol was gifted by Kollam family and is east facing, his trunk is turned leftwards and depicted as seated on a lotus, surrounded by his wives Siddhi and Riddhi.
4. The Villagers of Ranjangaon do not bring the Ganesha idols into their homes during Ganesh Chaturthi instead, they visit the temple and offer their prayers.
5. Devotees believe that there is another idol below the present idol in underground chamber. The idol is called as Mahotkat, which has 10 trunks and 20 arms. But authentication for the same is not available.

No Chappal stand. The shiv ling was decorated by worshipers with flowers which can be bought near the temple. Most notable is there is a washroom facility nearby maintained by the authority of the place. Parking facility is great as the space in front of the temple is open space.Written 29 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
