Shri Mayureshwar Mandir

Shri Mayureshwar Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ganesha in Morgaon, near Pune in Maharashtra. Its name means Lord of the Peacock: the Ganesha Purana tells how Ganesha incarnated as the six-armed, white-skinned Mayuresvara, rode a peacock and slew the demon Sindhu.

Morgaon is the foremost seat of the Ganapatya sect and the starting and ending point of the Ashtavinayaka pilgrimage of eight Ganesha temples around Pune.

The temple's origins are tied to the saint Morya Gosavi, whose lifetime is variously placed between the 1200s and the 1600s; the poet-saint Samarth Ramdas (1608–1682) composed his arati Sukhakarta Dukhaharta before its icon. In the 1700s the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha Empire, who honoured Ganesha as their family deity, donated land and money to the shrine.
