Ganapatipule–Pawas-Hedvi-Velaneshwar-Guhagar
Ganpatipule, According to local folklore, the Hindu god Ganapati, taking umbrage at a remark made by a native lady, moved to Pulé (a few km before the town) from his original abode of Gulé. Thus the region was named Ganpati-pulé.
The 400-year-old Ganpati idol at Ganpatipule is said to have sprung up from the soil. This deity faces the west, so as to guard the western gates, unlike deities in other Indian temples who face the east. The temple is at the base of a hill, and pilgrims walk around (pradakshina) the hill as a mark of respect.
