History & significance

A Ganesha temple about 7 km south-west of Ujjain across the Kshipra, dating in its present form to the Paramara rule over Malwa in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its image is revered as swayambhu, self-manifested, and the assembly hall is carried on finely carved stone pillars.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Local tradition holds that Sita established the shrine during the age of the Ramayana.
