History
Of
Chintamani
Ganpati
Temple
Theur
As
far
as
historical
records
are
concerned,
there
is
no
evidence
of
when
the
Theur
Chintamani
Ganpati
temple
was
built
and
who
the
constructor
was.
But
it
is
believed
that
the
temple
has
existed
for
ages.
The
main
temple
structure
that
we
see
today
was
constructed
by
descendants
of
Moraya
Gosavi.
After
hundred
years
of
construction,
Madhavrao
Peshwa
I
built
the
Sabha
mandap.
He
also
installed
a
huge
bell
here.
After
the
demise
of
Peshwa
Madhavrao
and
Ramabai,
a
garden
was
developed
on
the
premises.

In
rainy
seasons,
it
becomes
inconvenient
because
of
heavy
showers
sometimes.
However,
the
main
festival
of
Ganesh
Chaturthi
is
the
rainy
season,
and
there
is
a
heavy
influx
of
devotees
during
that
time
despite
heavy
rains.
Many
people
prefer
going
on Ashtavinayak
Darshan tours
during
the
monsoon
season.
It
makes
the
tour
easy.
In
the
summer,
the
heat
makes
the
afternoon
uncomfortable
in
Theur
Ganpati
Mandir.
