    History

    The Ranjangaon Ganpati Temple's history dates back to the Peshwa era. It is believed that the temple was built in the 18th century, although the exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The idol of Mahaganpati is said to be self-manifested (Swayambhu). The temple received significant patronage from the Peshwa rulers, particularly Madhavrao Peshwa, who was a great devotee of Lord Ganesha. He contributed significantly to the temple's infrastructure and development. The temple has undergone several renovations over the years, with additions and improvements made to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims. The Ranjangaon Ganpati Temple continues to be an important religious and cultural landmark in Maharashtra, preserving its historical significance and spiritual legacy.
