Sharvari's Ancestral Ganesh Chaturthi Rituals in Pune
18 Sep
Summary
- Sharvari visits her ancestral village in Pune annually for Ganesh Chaturthi.
- Her family home in Morgaon is over 100 years old and called a Wada.
- The village celebrates the festival together at a large, ancient temple.
Actress Sharvari continues her tradition of celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi at her ancestral village in Morgaon, located five hours from Mumbai. She has never missed a year, highlighting her strong connection to her roots. Her family resides in a historic Wada, a traditional house that is over 100 years old.
Instead of a private family ceremony, the village of Morgaon unites for a communal celebration at a large temple. This temple is highly revered as the Mayureshwar Temple, the first and most significant site in the Ashtavinayak Yatra pilgrimage circuit of Maharashtra.
The Mayureshwar Temple, situated by the Karha River in the Pune district, serves as the spiritual center for the Ganapatya sect. The Ashtavinayak Yatra includes eight sacred Ganesha temples, with Morgaon's temple being the crucial starting and concluding point for the pilgrimage.
