Ashtvinayak Maharashtra – Sacred Ganesha Temple Yatra

Ashtvinayak Maharashtra Yatra The Ashtvinayak Yatra is a spiritual journey to eight important temples of Lord Ganesha located across Maharashtra. These temples are traditionally visited as part of a pilgrimage circuit and attract devotees throughout the year. Each shrine has a distinct history, temple tradition and form of Lord Ganesha, giving the journey a special spiritual and cultural character. The Eight Ashtvinayak Temples The traditional Ashtvinayak circuit includes Shri Mayureshwar at Morgaon, Shri Siddhivinayak at Siddhatek, Shri Ballaleshwar at Pali, Shri Varadvinayak at Mahad, Shri Chintamani at Theur, Shri Girijatmaj at Lenyadri, Shri Vighneshwar at Ozar and Shri Mahaganapati at Ranjangaon.
