As you have read Title if you read entire article you may understand the truth behind the Ganpatipule.
Ganpatipule is one of the famous place for Ganesh Temple near beach. Beautiful view of beach from temple. Orange color temple you may hear chanting & sea shore voice together.
Ganpatipule is located in Ratnagiri,Maharashtra.
We started driving midnight around 2 o clock reached Coconut Crown beach Resort in Ganpatipule around 4 o clock evening. We were badly tied as we didn't got sleep and crossing from jungle wasnt a good experience as road where really bad in that times.
Day 1:
Coconut Crown Hotel was best hotel for us. The owner of this hotel was so helpful, supportive, cooperative. I really liked the hospitality neat clean room etc... Beach is just opposite of this hotel. By evening around 6-7 we visited beach the breeze air passing by and high waves and sunset just perfect time to capture.
Late night sitting outside of rooms in a open place under the coconut tree had dinner with music was just a perfect chill-out day.
Day 2:
Got up around 10am after having bed tea sat outside our rooms on sleeping chair had breakfast in the afternoon we left for Lord Ganpati Temple. It took us hardly 10 minutes to reach temple paid parking available. Is nice beautiful entrance you can multiple types of flavored juice soda Konkan special also spices.
As we entered the gate saw a multiple rows fully crowded few where chitchatting few where chanting it was zigzag rows this was made as day by day visitors are increasing. However i was disappointed by 2 things. Will let you know further.
It took us 40 minutes to cross at starting of row we can see a huge elephant statue on door gate as we where getting closer felt happy as we were running out of time. When rows got over passed huge elephant statue just entered door gate got a little shock. again got too many rows it took lot of time to pass that. Not always you find that weekends or festival mostly.
Finally time came to enter temple where Ganesha Darshan is done. No photography is allowed inside. Here i got very angry on 1 person.
When i entered temple i was holding phone in my hand however i didnt clicked any pics of God Ganesh as instruction was already given outside. The guards here are very rude. While i was passing the Ganesh idol guards started shouting on me why did you click a photo of idol, i clearly said no i didnt still he was arguing with me i told him again an again if you want check my phone i didnt. I have read the instruction. Still started shouting loudly and other guy started pushing people move move fast not even letting anyone to stand and pray for 1 second. The are really manner less and rude.
The misleading thing is whenever you go for a trip you always read about that place or as someone tells you about it. I did so. Inside temple the Idol is not so huge its a small Ganesha Statue. The rumor is made like its ancient and Huge Ganpatipule Ganesh Statue, but its not so. Someone told me that the parkarma takes hours to complete however temple is not so large the parkarma wont be taking much time. Outside temple you can do photography or sit for a while and enjoy sea view.
There are lot more beautiful places to visit everything is so near and walk able distance. So than we began towards Prachin Konkan Museum its must visit place. Ticket charges are Rs.35 They wont allow you to go inside alone as it is mountain jungle so that one can lost in it. They give you guide take you in groups. It a huge place and multiple things to watch very nice staff and they will give all the details properly and patiently. If you are shooting with mobile camera its allowed without charges for DSLR or any other camera you need to pay extra for it.
As we were hungry before entering Prachin Kokan we thought of having lunch there are lots of restaurant near by in a walkable distance. For Non-Veg lovers its a best place they variety in thali's and fish food etc... Veg few option taste dose matter and for jain please dont try to find much options. Our one of friend is jain only in our hotel she found food for her. Still we loved the food.
It was almost evening and museum other spots where closing down so we rushed towards Prachin Kokan and we where the last batch to enter. Beautifully designed and described Konkan lifestyle. You can also find Canteen and restaurant to have a bite.
Nice collection of Pearls & Shells at the end can buy earring, jewelry many other things.
After this we went to beach it was too late for water rides. we could not get all of it so just took 1 ride of it.
