Story

Tulshibaug sits where old Pune’s shopping streets meet devotional spectacle. Established in 1901 and granted fourth honour in 1950 for the religious importance of the Tulshibaug precinct, the mandal made history in 1975 when sculptor D. S. Khatavkar created a 15-foot fibreglass idol — the first of its kind. Today’s idol stands around 13 feet, adorned with over 80 kilograms of ornaments. You may pass this lane for groceries in August and return in September to find it transformed; the miravnuk here is the sound many Punekars call the emotional peak of the festival.

During the festival

Fourth Manacha visit. Visarjan miravnuk is a flagship moment of Pune Ganeshotsav. 2026 dekhava: Brahmanaspati temple decoration with charansparsha arrangement for devotees (post-aagman press).

Visit

Laxmi Road is pedestrian-heavy during peak hours — use metro to Mandai when possible.

The pandal draws steady crowds all ten days; late-night visits are quieter.
