Ganesha Temple
Can’t make it to Goa? Well, at least you can visit Ganpatipule, on the coast 375km south of Mumbai – and you won’t be crying sour grapes. A sleepy but picturesque seaside village, it boasts several kilometres of almost perfect beaches and clean waters. Life generally plods along very slowly here, but heaven help anyone coming for a bit of peace and quiet during holidays such as Diwali or Ganesh Chaturthi. These are times when hordes of raucous ‘tourists’ turn up to visit the seaside Ganesha Temple housing a monolithic Ganesha (painted a lurid orange), supposedly discovered 1600 years ago.
