Shree Trishunda Ganpati Mandir

It is a must visit for every Punekar to get to know their culture and I think it is a hidden gem of Pune. The temple is a symbol of intermixing of various architectural styles and the best part are the beautiful intricate carvings. This temple is a treat for the history buffs as well as an important religious centre.

Not a crowded place even though in heart of city like Pune.Beautifully sculpted small temple. Just go there n sit in front of Bappa, see his special Roop with 3 trunks, close you eyes.... And its total peace. Peace of mind ! One should go there once in a while to get rid of all the stress of modern life.

The temple is carved totally in a black rock and was built in 1754. It has various carvings with bhaldar chopdar on the main gate. It is a very silent place, one can meditate the whole day without any disturbance. The Ganesha idol is very attractive with three trunks. Behind Ganesha there is an idol of Vishnu and lakshmi sitting on the sheshnaag. It is a must visit temple in pune. Outside the temple there is a small temple of the same Ganesha to which people worship in the Ganpati festival.

Untouched, clean and peaceful peshva kalin temple of Pune.
A true hidden gem in its own style.
Please don't disturb the peace of this place.

Many idols of this temple are still intact.

Below the idol in the temple of these three trunks Ganesha is the tomb of the founder of the temple, Mahant Sri Dattaguru Goswami Maharaj. After anointing the idol, it pours water on the samadhi in the basement. Since this temple belongs to the Tantramargiyas of Girigosavi sect, common devotees did not visit here. Although the current main idol in the temple is of Trishund Gajanana, the original idea of building a Shiva temple must have been there...

Amazing 18th century temple right in the middle of the urban landscape. There are many unique characteristics to this place, like the Ganesh Idol with 3 trunks and if you go on the pradakshina marg, right behind the Ganpati idol, on the outside, you will find a shivling with mayur and mushak on it.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. This is the one of the ancient temple in the city.
The name itself, God Ganpati having three "Sond/Sund".

Pune is known for the vibrant city of Bhagwan Ganesh festivals, and during Peshwas rule, they built beautiful temples for worshipping.
A more than 250-year-old Trishund Mayureshwar Ganpati temple is a hidden gem in Pune, located in the city of Somwar Peth. The temple was built by Bhimjigiri Gosavi from Dhampur, near Indore.
Why is the temple called Trishund Ganpati? Because the idol of Lord Ganesha has three tusks and six hands and is seated on a peacock. It is extremely unique, as this depiction of Lord Ganesha is not found anywhere else in India. About architecture, the temple is constructed from Deccan The temple is constructed from Deccan stone basalt, while the idol is made from pure black basalt stone.

Must visit this awesome temple

I just loved this temple. Almost hidden temple in Pune. The entrance to the temple is flanked by sculptured dwarpalakas (doorkeepers), with a carving of Goddess Lakshmi with two elephants above.
The temple is constructed from Deccan stone basalt, on a high platform with a small courtyard in front. It is highly decorated with figures, animals, and mythological creatures, many of which appear to be somewhat unusual.
The architecture of the temple is a blend of Rajasthani, Malwa and South Indian styles.
Must visit 😊

The structure here is over 250 years old.. The architecture is worth admiring.
A must visit temple as this the only ganpati temple with trishunda in India.

Trishunda Ganapati is located in Kasaba Peth. The word Trishunda means the one which is having three trunks that is sond in Marathi. This is one of the very ancient Temple located in Pune. The Ganesh idol is very unique and not like other Ganesh idols. The temple structure is also without any peak i.e Kalas in Marathi. Different sculptures are also seen on the temple walls. The speciality of this temple is in the underground basement they have another Idol and only once in a year that chamber is open and we have to walk literally in knee height water to take blessings of the idol. This is open only on Gurupornima. They also have the Ganesh mandal of same name. Do visit and experience the divinity. Jai Ganesh.

One of my personal favourite temple in pune. You can actually feel the presence of divine energy. The Ganesh idol is simply beautiful.

Top 10 must visit Holy Temple in pune, unique

In the by-lanes of the bustling Somwar Peth, lays an almost hidden Trishund Mayureshwar Ganpati temple. A small but beautiful temple located near the Kamala Nehru Hospital chowk, was constructed with a direct approach to the banks of the Nagzari stream.The construction of this temple was started on 26th August 1754 by Bhimjigiri Gosavi from Dhampur near Indore and was completed in 1770.
The temple has an idol of Lord Ganesh with three trunks and six hands, seated on a peacock, which in fact is a rare depiction of this deity.The temple is constructed on a high platform and has a small courtyard.
The temple also has a basement. There is an open hall with a couple of pillars in the basement along with a Samadhi (a memorial) of Gosavi. There is an inlet water and hence, the basement is generally filled with water. It is not open for everybody except on Guru Purnima day, when the basement is cleaned and dried and people can pay homage to the memorial of Gosavi. It is believed that the basement was used as a school for ascetics who practised the tantric form of Hinduism.
