About Pune Ganeshotsav

Pune Ganeshotsav at naad.live is a free, mobile-first visitor guide for Pune's public Ganesh Utsav. It helps first-timers and returning visitors plan darshan — especially the Manache Ganpati honour sequence — browse famous mandals, walk in prepared, and follow dhol-tasha pathaks when listings are available.

This is not a music or mantra app. The name "Naad" refers to the sound of dhol-tasha drums that fills Pune's streets during Ganeshotsav — the rhythm that announces Bappa's arrival and accompanies His farewell. The site is a festival guide, published by Naad, focused entirely on helping you experience Pune's Ganesh Utsav with respect.

For this festival season, visitor-facing language leads with Pune Ganeshotsav — not a two-city product or a platform. The guide covers Manache Ganpati, sarvajanik mandals, dhol-tasha pathaks, and practical visit information for Pune only.

We verify mandal stories and Manache order against published honour tradition and official mandal sources where available — including MahaMetro festival advisories, Pune Traffic Police road notices, and each Manache mandal's published precedence. Performances and pathak profiles are reviewed before they appear as verified; community tips stay pending until checked.

Editorial. Guides are written and updated by the Naad editorial team at naad.live. Festival dates, metro hours, and road restrictions are marked with a last-verified date on each logistics page so you can see how fresh the notes are.
