Sarasbaug Temple, Hindu temple in Pune, India.

Sarasbaug Temple stands on a roughly 25,000 sq ft island in the middle of a lake at the foot of Parvati Hill, reached by a causeway. The small shrine built in 1784 houses the idol of Shree Siddhivinayak Gajanan, and the island around it was laid out as a garden.

In the 18th century Nanasaheb Peshwa had a lake dug at the foot of Parvati hill, keeping an island of about 25,000 sq ft in its middle and laying out a garden there that he named Sarasbaug. In 1784 Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa built a small temple on the island and installed the idol of Shree Siddhivinayak Gajanan, the deity he worshipped.

The temple's deity is Shree Siddhivinayak, "the God who makes wishes true", installed here by Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa in 1784. Around ten thousand devotees visit daily, and up to eighty thousand on Ganesha Chaturthi and other special occasions. Dignitaries from across India have come to seek the deity's blessings.

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 temple's idol is called Shree Siddhivinayak, "the God who makes wishes true". On Ganesha Chaturthi and other special occasions, daily attendance rises from about ten thousand to as many as eighty thousand devotees.
