Origin of the Deity

Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati ki sthapna Shri Dagdusheth Halwai aur unki patni Lakshmibai ne apne ekmatra putra ko plague mahamaari me kho dene ke baad ki. Unhone apne dukh ko bhakti me badal diya aur Ganpati ki upasana shuru ki.

Early Celebrations

Shuru se hi Ganpati Utsav Dagdusheth parivar ke saath-saath poore pados me shraddha aur utsah ke saath manaya jata tha. Yuva avastha me Tatyasaheb Godse bhi in utsavon me sakriya bhag lete the.

Public Movement Era

Baad me jab Lokmanya Tilak ne Ganpati Utsav ko swatantrata sangram ke liye ek sarvajanik andolan banaya, tab Dagdusheth Ganpati Pune ka sabse lokpriya aur sammanit Ganesh murti ban gaya.

Formation of Trust (1952)

1952 me Ganpati Utsav ke aayojan ki zimmedari Tatyasaheb Godse aur unke mitron ne sambhali. Unke netritva me utsav vyavasthit, anushasit aur vyavsayik roop me aage badhta gaya.

Social and Cultural Work

Dheere-dheere trust ne mandir ki pooja ke saath-saath samajik aur sanskritik kshetra me bhi kaam shuru kiya. Samajik aur rajnitik samasyaon par bhi dhyaan diya gaya.
