== History ==

Parasuram Bhau Patwardhan ([[Raje]] of Tasgaon Sansthan) was Sar-Senapati of [[Nanasaheb Peshwa]], who had established this Tasgaon Sansthan. Raje Parashuram had fought more than 100 wars against the [[Tipu Sultan]] in [[South India]]. At that time Tipu sultan was impressed by the temples of southern India and its culture of worship.

== Design ==

The construction of a temple at Ganapati was begun in 1779 by Parasuram Bhau Patwardhan and finished in 1799 by his son Appa Patwardhan. These construction was made by Hindu- wadar caste peoples from karnataka. Its architecture resembles South Indian temple construction.

== Festival ==

The Grand celebration occurs in the city on next day of Bhadrapat Chaturthi when thousands of people gather to celebrate this auspicious occasion. This festival is cultural and religious event helping the people to unit together. This Ganpati stays for one and half-day. The Procession starts in afternoon for immersion of Ganpati. The 30 feet 'Ratha' (chariot) used to decorate specially for this occasion. [[Ratha]] is pulled by the Ganpati devotees up to stream where they do immersion of Ganpati. This tradition is being continued since 1785. And the first reference to given for these ratha was that caste should be announced to Apparaje Patvardhan, because they was constructed the temple of Sansthan's Ganpati. First the Ratha was made of teak wood which was too heavy. Due to its accident in one year, new iron Ratha came into picture.
