Nagnath Par Ganpati Trust
VerifiedSadashiv Peth
A 125-plus-year-old Sadashiv Peth trust known for hanging mandaps shaped like Shivaji Maharaj’s forts, built high so the street below stays open.
Story
Nagnath Par Ganpati Trust, over 125 years old, celebrates at the old Nagnath Par square in Sadashiv Peth. The trust was an early adopter of the elevated ‘hanging mandap’ — engineering its pandal on scaffolding high above the road, often as a replica of one of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s forts, so that regular traffic flows underneath. It is a fixture of the classic old-city darshan circuit between Shanipar and Nimbalkar Talim.
