Redi, near Vengurla, Maharashtra · 15.7431°, 73.6574°
A Ganesha shrine at Redi in coastal Maharashtra, about 30 km from Vengurla, built around an image dug out of the shore near Rewati port in 1976. The idol stands roughly 6 ft high and is dwibhuja, two-armed rather than the usual four; the mouse that serves as his vahana was found two months later.
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.
A local man, Sadashiv Kambli, is said to have seen the buried Ganesha in a dream and persuaded villagers to dig it out of the seashore.
