Shrimant Dagdusheth Ganpati: Culture, Visarjan & Festival Truths | Kay Boltaay

Inside the World of Dagdusheth Ganpati: Beliefs & Traditions | Kay Boltaay

What if Ganpati wasn’t just seen as Vighnaharta—but also as Vighnakarta, depending on our karm?

In this spiritually enriching episode of Kay Boltaay, we sit down with Mahesh Suryawanshi, Trustee of Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandal, to explore the legacy, beliefs, and evolving traditions of one of India’s most beloved Ganpati temples. From mythological references in Mangalpuran and Skandpuran to the grandeur of this year’s 25 ft Padmanabh Mandir-inspired Mandap, this conversation blends faith, culture, and modern challenges.

✨ What to Expect:
– Why Ganpati is both Vighnaharta & Vighnakarta
– This year’s Mandap: A cultural blend inspired by Padmanabh Mandir, South India
– The 25 ft grandeur and design philosophy of Dagdusheth’s Mandap
– Changing approach of devotees: from Dhol-Tasha to DJs
– Competitions & cultural activities organized by the Mandal
– The story behind the chant “Jay Ganesh” echoing at Dagdusheth
– Why Dagdusheth’s Ganpati miravnuk leaves after 4 pm
– The new rule on Plaster of Paris (POP) idols & its impact
– Mythologies and stories of Ganpati from Mangalpuran & Skandpuran

This isn’t just about one mandal—it’s about how faith adapts, survives, and continues to unite people.
