My visit to Mahaganpati Temple in Wai was spiritually uplifting. The temple’s architecture and serene surroundings amidst the Sahyadri mountains create a tranquil atmosphere. Inside, I felt a deep sense of devotion in the presence of Lord Ganesha.

The temple rituals were soothing, and the priests added to the spiritual experience. What makes this place even more special is the stunning backdrop of the Western Ghats, offering breathtaking views.

Mahaganpati Temple is a must-visit for those seeking a blend of spirituality and natural beauty. It left me with a sense of peace and reverence that lingers in my heart.”

A very old temple and a quiet place, not so crowded. The ganpati idol is very huge and has its own vibe to watch it.

Beautiful Ganesh nd Shiv temple

This temple is a nice piece of architecture. The ganpati idol is huge one. It feels like the ganpati is happy to see you there. It feels like as you enter the gabhara that he is inviting you to come inside and play with him. It has a very childlike charm to it. I just can’t describe what it was like but surely it has a totally different aura that doesn’t seize to amaze you. There was ghat just beside the temple. As it was raining heavily we could not roam around much. Parking lot is just in the front of the temple.
