Huge lord ganesha idol.Best time to visit early in a morning or at evening.20rs for parking.

Nice place..but visit in morning or evening

Wonder full place. Only issue is there is no boards for navigation. Very small road and parking. Currently closed due to covid

Beautiful Ganesha temple also known as Birla Ganapati in Shirgaon area. It’s visible from the old Pune-Mumbai highway and it’s just after the toll plaza. Take left from toll plaza and it’s 5mins Journey from their.It’s a narrow road which will lead to this place. Limited paid car parking space. Place is well maintained and if you like gardening then you have an amazing nursery at the entry point.

Good place to visit. Its a big Ganesha murti. 2 km from prati Sai Baba temple.

The ganesh statue is really awesome to look at... It has also sitting arrangements near the statue but didnt have shades... Overall good for small trip purpose.. you can also visit prati shirdi which is nearby within 3 kms from this place.. It will make your weekend trip complete..

Awesome place. You can meditate here. Pay & Park available for two wheelers and four wheelers. Take 15 min to reach bottom to top.

This is a very nice place to visit in rainy season. Huge statue of lord Ganesha is mesmerizing...

A very calm and soothing place with a great view to enjoy around. There is proper parking for the 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler as well with a minimal charge amount. It is a very nice place to visit 😊

I didnt have any photograph. I visited this place around 6 years ago and from that time change several mobile phones.This place is soo good, Mumbai Pune highway and almost pune city can be viewed from this location. Fresh air and not soo crowded place.

Its a nice place for a quick visit. But the small garden like place is closed now after covid lockdown. So there is no proper place to seat and spend time.

Nice place to find peace and hangout

Nice view, not many steps to the temple.

Beautiful place to visit. You get to see the enormous Ganesha statue which is even visible from several kms, situation on top of hill. Place is surrounded by beautiful mountains and valleys. It feels peaceful and calm. Lord Ganesha is on the top of hill. Close to Pune Mumbai express. Take Dehu road exit, after 4 km on towards Pune. You will reach. Beautiful sunrise & sunset you can see.

Birla Ganpati Temple is around 25KM from Pune near to Somatane toll plaza on Old Pune Mumbai Highway. Statue is Huge and is visible from good distance. Overall it is a good place to watch sunset as well. This temple is a good single day visit if clubbed with Lonavala/Khandala/Pavna/Pratishirdi.

Amazing Palace at the top of hill, nice clean area, a big stachue of lord Ganesha....

What a view from here 😍 Jai Ganesha🙏

Looks beautiful. It was closed which in not updated on Google. Confirm before planning to go

Simply magnificent. The beautiful and perfectly sculpted huge Lord Ganesha idol in the empty background is so fascinating. But the place would hurt some one who like to explore because of the no entry boards all around.

Peaceful area. Huge statue of lord Ganesha. Parking ( Rs 15 for 4 wheeler & Rs 10 for 2 wheeler) is available here. Free shoo rack and drinking water available here.just little problem to reach there. Very narrow road for 4 wheeler to reach there.

Gr8 Lord Ganesha idol.Nice view from top.

The temple is good but the entrance to the temple from main road is very small and it is very easy to miss that turn

A really nice place to visit on weekends. The view from the top is incredible. Would suggest that you visit the place around 4:00 p.m as the sun sets down the sculpture changes its colour according to light. Also the view of the highway passing by seems beautiful when its full of lights.

Birla ganpati mandir Famous for big statute of ganpati bappa its Its 72 ft statute and the scenery also very great from this place. it is very peacful place.

Very nice place to visit but entrance is very small. Parking charges are applicable.

This place has something in it....Its on height and you have astonishing view of city under a very large Ganesha.This is must visit with family and love one.There is siting arrangement as well.

Visited the temple in the last week of August, they are allowing anyone to visit the place due to Covid restrictions. Road leading to the mark is too narrow, dont know whether they have parking facility, a bit disappointed as it was my first visit and cant take darshan of the Bappa.

Big statue of ganpati bappa. Old Pune Mumbai highway.. temple is on top .. so have to take stairs to reach..on top benches are there for seating so you sit and enjoy the city view.. parking for both 2&4 wheeler is available.. road to reach temple is narrow.. and temple is just 100 m away from toll still we have to pay.. good for visiting during monsoon can spend 30-40 min

30km from pune on old panvel highway. Easily noticeable from highway tollbooth. Small but good place. 100-150 steps are there. Huge ganesh murthi. Good place to spend 1-2 hours. Parking is there with 20rs charge. Birthday celebration is not allowed inside the place. It has good view of highway city and mountain.

Visited this place on a sunny afternoon.. You just take a left which is slightly ahead from Toll check.. can tak car or bike till the base of it and then there are only few stairs to climb..have few benches alongside the stairs if you want to rest in between or want to enjoy the view..The statue is huge.. Its not a temple.. Worth a visit.

Beautiful place for sunset and pune night view

It is a beautiful place. The greatness of big Ganapathi idol and the scenery from the top of the hill cannot be said in words. I got the same feeling like in Birla Temple in Hyderabad. I even dont know this temple built by birla & after searching from the prathi shirdi got to know who constructed it.

A very large Mangal Murti Morya IDOL 72 foot is situated at Shirgaon about 26km from pune.

Big sculpture of Lord Ganesha . Clean and devotional temple .

The temple is still not open for devotees, so make sure to confirm the same before planning your visit

Big statue of Lord Ganesh.You will definitely love the view from above.Statue is very big enough that can be spotted by very far distance.You can drive till the middle of the place where you can park it.Need to take stairs (more than 200) to reach out on top to see the amazing views.A small garden is there where you can spend time with your family.Outside food is allowed here. So it will be a good small picnic spot where children can play and you can capture beautiful scenery pictures and good selfies.This place is at Somatane village and near Talegaon Toll plaza. You might need to pay toll if you are driving through Mumbai Pune highway. Toll is not applicable for two wheeler.
