Visiting Ganapati Temple Moreshwar Morgaon

The Ganapati Temple at Moreshwar is the first temple as well as the last one to be visited by those who set out on the Ashtavinayak pilgrimage. A silver headed cobra (Nagaraj, the King of Snakes) is to be seen on this temple’s Ganesha idol. The benevolent 3 eyes of the idol literally sparkle with diamonds. 

Facing the temple is a mouse (Ganapati’s mount) which is 6 foot high. Also located outside the temple gates is a large sculpture of a bull which is Lord Shiva’s mount (Lord Shiva is Ganapati’s father). As per Hindu mythological legends, the bull was being transported from a Shiva temple located in the vicinity, rested here in front of the Moreshwar temple & then could not be budged from the spot. The bull & the mouse are considered to be faithful guardians of the Moreshwar temple.

2012 Dahi Handi venue locations Mumbai and Thane

Krishna with curds pot

A prominent part of the Krishna Janmashtami celebrations is the breaking of the handi (clay pot) which is set up high above the ground at the center of a long rope strung between two structures. Lord Krishna as a child always broke clay pots to eat the curds inside, hence the breaking of the clay pot is a similar activity. This activity is a part of festivities known as Dahi Kala utsav or Dahi Handi Mahotsav. It takes place just 1 day after celebrating Lord Krishna's birth. The 2012 Krishna Janmashtami date is August 9th, 12 midnight. On August 10th, the streets of Mumbai, Pune, Thane & Navi Mumbai will be filled by large groups of Govindas (men and women) who try to outdo each other in creating more tiers of pyramids to break the traditional handi. There is a great deal of joy in this, more so because of the cash prizes offered by political groups & private organizations.
