Sarasbaug Temple

Sarasbaug Temple sits on an island within a large complex featuring detailed stone carvings and traditional Maratha architectural styles throughout. The site spans multiple levels and combines various building elements in its overall layout.

Construction began in 1750 under local patronage and was completed in 1784. A Ganesha idol was installed at that time at the base of Parvati hill.

The temple is known as Talyatla Ganapati and represents an important spiritual center for the city. Daily worship rituals here reflect local religious practices and the devotion of people who visit.

The sanctuary is within walking distance of major bus and rail connections. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and show respect when observing religious activities taking place.

The sanctuary houses a collection of hundreds of Ganesha images in different artistic styles, displayed in an onsite museum. This collection was started in 1995 and demonstrates the diversity of regional art traditions.
