History & tradition
The Chintamani Temple is at Theur, about 25 km from Pune, near the meeting of the Bhima and Mula-Mutha rivers. It is one of the larger and better known of the Ashtavinayaka, the eight revered Ganesha shrines of Maharashtra. Temple lore tells how Ganesha recovered the wish-granting jewel Chintamani for the sage Kapila, and how he calmed the troubled mind of Brahma, who meditated here. The temple is associated with the Ganapatya saint Morya Gosavi, and the present structure is attributed to him or a descendant. The Peshwa Madhavrao I was a devoted patron who renovated and enlarged it.
