There are many quaint period architectural pieces in Pune. Here is the arch of the King Edward Madical Hospital gate.
Dagdu Seth Halwai Ganapathy
View of the Road from my room
12 th and 13th JanuaryI was at Pune on work.
The traffic at Pune is erratic. Anyone who is bold ands fast can move forward. The more reticent have to wait and watch. Signals have no meaning, relevance or acceptance.
In the evening I visited the Saras Bagh Ganapathy Mandir. The temple is situated on an elevated platform amidst a park. The park itself is sunk below the ground level. To reach the temple, you have to first climb down two levels, walk towards the Temple and again climb a wide flight of stairs.
The charming Ganapathy idol is set iun a small shrine. As in most of north India the sanctum is clearly visible from the prayer hall. We were there in time for the evening Aarthi.
The distant hills surrounding Pune including the one with a Parvathy Mandir can be seen from the park.
We then visited the well known Dagdu Seth Halwai Ganapathy Mandir. The colorful and larger-than-life image of the elephant headed God can be seen right from the road.
