About Shri Ganesh Tekdi, Nagpur
A Ganpati shrine on a small rise next to Nagpur railway station, held to be swayambhu, self-manifested, and dating to the Bhonsle period. Being where it is, a great many people stop here on their way in or out of the city, which gives it a steady traffic that has nothing to do with festivals.
What to see and do
- Swayambhu Ganpati image
- Two minutes from Nagpur railway station
- Tuesday and Sankashti crowds
- Sitabuldi fort on the next rise
