Choghadiya Today in Pune
Today’s choghadiya for Pune, Maharashtra, worked out from Pune’s own sunrise and sunset in India Standard Time (Asia/Kolkata). Pune’s devotion begins with Ganesha: the Kasba Ganapati that the district calls the city’s gram daivat leads every immersion procession, the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati in Budhwar Peth draws the longest queues, and each Ashadha the palkhis of Sant Dnyaneshwar from Alandi and Sant Tukaram from Dehu halt in the city on their way to Pandharpur.

Why a date can differ: a tithi (lunar day) begins at the same instant everywhere on earth, but a festival is kept on the local day when its tithi holds at the right moment, such as sunrise or moonrise. Pune’s sunrise and moonrise come at different minutes from Delhi’s, so now and then that moment lands on a different calendar day here. For festivals not listed, see the festival calendar.

Hindu temples in and around Pune
Mandirs across the Pune area, from the city to the suburbs. Check each temple’s website for darshan hours and its festival programme.
Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple
The trust’s own history says Dagdusheth Halwai helped launch the public Ganpati celebration of 1893 that Lokmanya Tilak urged the city to join, that a second idol carved by the sculptor Naik was handed to the young people of the peth for the utsav in 1897, and that the first temple near Budhwar Peth was built in 1984 with the present temple following in 2005.
Kasba Ganapati
The Pune district website calls it the gram daivat of Pune, says the idol was installed by Jijabai, mother of Shivaji Maharaj, and notes that it therefore has the first privilege in the Ganesh Utsav procession.
Chaturshringi Temple
The district site places the temple on the slope of a hill on Senapati Bapat Road and links it to the Maratha period; its Navratri runs nine days from Ghatasthapana to Vijayadashami.
Parvati hill temples (Devdeveshwar)
The district site counts 108 steps up to the temple of Parvati and Devadeshwar and lists the hill’s temples to Vishnu, Ganesh and Kartikeya and a museum; the Pune heritage project of DEF, UNESCO and IHCN records the Devadeveshwar temple as built by Nanasaheb Peshwa in 1749.
Pataleshwar Cave Temple
An eighth-century rock-cut shrine of the Rashtrakuta period with a circular Nandi mandapa and three sanctums, the central one holding the Shivalinga; its information board records it as a protected monument under the Ancient Monuments Act of 1958, and the shrine is still in worship.
ISKCON NVCC Pune
ISKCON’s magazine Back To Godhead reports the New Vedic Cultural Centre was inaugurated on 24 February 2013 by the President of India on a six-acre property with a hall for 3,000 people, and that ISKCON’s first Pune temple, Sri Sri Radha-Kunjabihari, dates from 1982.
Sant Dnyaneshwar Samadhi Mandir
The district site calls Alandi Devachi Alandi and places the samadhi and temple of the saint-poet Dnyaneshwar about 25 km from Pune; Maharashtra Tourism says Kartik Ekadashi there marks his Sanjeevan Samadhi, and that the palkhi from Alandi carries his padukas to Pandharpur for Ashadhi Ekadashi.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj Samadhi Mandir and Gatha Mandir
Maharashtra Tourism describes Dehu as the birthplace of the 17th-century saint Tukaram, the Samadhi Mandir as the spot where he is believed to have attained Sanjeevan Samadhi, and the Gatha Mandir as carrying more than 4,000 of his abhangas inscribed on its walls.
Khandoba Temple, Jejuri
The district site describes Jejuri as famous for the ancient temple of Lord Khandoba, reached by a climb of about 200 steps, with a yatra held in several months of the Hindu calendar.
