Explore the Divine Tranquility of Adasa Ganesh Temple – A Hidden Gem Near Nagpur
Located in the peaceful village of Adasa, just 45 kilometers from Nagpur in Maharashtra, the Adasa Ganesh Temple is one of the most revered and picturesque religious sites in the region. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush greenery, and spiritual serenity, the temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and beginnings.
At Havish Tour and Travel, we invite you to discover this lesser-known yet spiritually rich destination, perfect for a short pilgrimage, a weekend escape, or a cultural exploration of Vidarbha’s religious heritage.
Architectural Simplicity and Natural Beauty
The temple is built in a simple yet elegant style, showcasing a blend of local stone and traditional design. What sets Adasa Temple apart is not grand pillars or ornate carvings, but its location — perched atop a small hill, surrounded by lush greenery and the rolling landscape of Vidarbha.
A flight of 100 stone steps leads up to the temple, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The climb is gentle and refreshing, especially in the early morning or just before sunset, when the breeze carries the scent of flowers and the sounds of temple bells.
The main sanctum houses the massive idol of Lord Ganesha, flanked by smaller shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities. The temple complex also includes a holy pond, often visited by devotees seeking blessings and spiritual cleansing.
Festivals and Celebrations
1. Ganesh Chaturthi
The most prominent festival at Adasa is Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrated with grandeur and devotion. Thousands of pilgrims from across Maharashtra and beyond gather to offer prayers, sing bhajans, and witness special rituals. The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with music, chants, and a deep spiritual energy.
2. Magh Shukla Chaturthi
Another special occasion is celebrated during Magh month (January-February), where a fair is organized at the temple. Devotees participate in religious processions, cultural programs, and community feasts.
3. Sankashti Chaturthi
Every month, on Sankashti Chaturthi (the fourth day of the waning moon), hundreds of devotees visit Adasa Temple to seek blessings from Lord Ganesha, especially for removing personal and professional obstacles.
Peaceful Pilgrimage and Family Outing
