    About this circuit

    The Ashta Vinayak circuit covers 8 ancient Ganesha temples in Maharashtra, all believed to be swayambhu (self-manifested). Traditionally completed in a 3-day loop starting and ending at Moreshwar (Morgaon), this is one of the most efficient pilgrimage circuits in India — every temple is within a 200 km radius of Pune.
