Siddhivinayak Mahaganapati Temple, Hindu temple in Titwala, Maharashtra

The Siddhivinayak Mahaganapati Temple in Titwala is a Ganesha shrine on the Kalyan–Kasara road by the Kalu river. Its pale yellow and pink shikhara rises beside a lower dome, and the facade carries a row of dark red lattice panels under green corrugated sheeting. The stone platform is 3.5 feet high, the hall has marble flooring, and the shikhara bears sculptures of the Ashtavinayaka.

According to ancient Indian narratives, this location was the birthplace of Shakuntala and housed the ashram of sage Kanva. These legendary associations have made this place an important pilgrimage site for centuries.

The temple draws visitors of all faiths, who come especially on Tuesdays to seek blessings for wisdom and overcoming obstacles. This place of worship brings together people from different communities who share their devotion to Lord Ganesha.

The temple stands in Titwala on the Kalyan–Kasara road beside the Kalu river, with the Titwala Talav lake next to it, where boating facilities were created after the lake was de-silted. The 2009 renovation added regulated entry arrangements and basic facilities for the large crowds. Devotees come in the greatest numbers on Angarika Chaturthi, a Tuesday falling on the fourth day of the bright lunar fortnight.

The shikhara is decorated with sculptures of the Ashtavinayaka, the central images from eight revered Ganesha temples near Pune. Inside the sanctum, in the right corner, are the padukas (footwear) of Shri Vengaonkar Joshi, a Ganesha devotee. The image's eyes and navel were later set with ruby stones.
