A historic honour for Hindu devotion. Pune’s Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple has officially entered the Universe Book of World Records for receiving the highest number of devotees visiting a single temple in one year.
The recognition was presented during Ganeshotsav, when trustees of the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Sarvajivan Ganpati Trust and Suvarnayug Tarun Mandal received the certificate. The award acknowledges the continuous flow of devotees who come from across India and the world to seek blessings of Ganpati Bappa.
For countless Hindus, Dagdusheth is not just a temple, it is a living symbol of faith and devotion. The temple’s fame has now reached international shores. Recently, a 50-foot replica of the Dagdusheth Ganpati Temple was inaugurated in Phuket, Thailand, by Thai businesswoman Papa Son Mipa. Even the Ganpati Visarjan ritual was recreated in the sea there, spreading India’s spiritual traditions to global audiences.
This achievement highlights the enduring power of Hindu faith and culture. It shows that despite borders, the devotion to Ganpati Bappa unites hearts across the world.
Pune’s beloved Dagdusheth now stands as one of the most visited spiritual places on earth. A true moment of pride for Hindus everywhere.
