Mango Festival - Dagdusheth Ganpati

Mango Festival 17th Sep 2023

The Mango Festival, an annual extravaganza held at the revered Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple, is celebrated on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. This vibrant celebration includes temple interior being decorated with thousands of mangoes. The exterior of the temple is decorated with flowers shaped in the form of mangoes. The day starts with Swarabhishek that elates the atmosphere with devotional songs and music dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Devotees and visitors immerse themselves in devotional rituals like Brahmanspati Sukt Abhishek and Ganesh Yag that elevate their connection with the divine. The Mango Festival is a testament to the temple's commitment to celebrating every season. The mangoes are later distributed at Sassoon Hospital, Pitashree Old Age Home, and among devotees who come to seek Bappa’s blessings.
