GanapatiPule Temple

At Ratnagiri in the small Ganpatipule village is a hindu temple by the same name and is amongst the 8 Ashtavinayaks of Maharashtra. The temple is believed to be centuries old with no precise traces of its development. This temple of Lord Ganesha is located on beach & often there is a long serpentine queue and it may take 1 to 2 hours to enter the temple. The Pradakshina is a ragged stone based path around the hill of approx 1 km. The lord’s idol is visible even after you sit down in the hall and even if you get two minutes of glance, it is said that it heals you & gives you a lot of peace.
This temple is located straight on the beach and it glows beautifully during the morning and evening time. Moreover the temple is well maintained and very clean as well (Despite being crowded). Ganpatiphule is a must visit place for this temple and its beach as well!
