Mayureshwar temple/Mayurapuri is one of the eight
prominent temples of Lord Ganesha located on the river banks of Karha in the
village Morgaon/Bhuswananda in Baramati, Pune, Maharashtra. Previously,
Moragon was the dwelling place of huge numbers of peacock.
Ganesha Puranam describes the incarnation of Lord Ganesha as
Mayureshwara. The demon Sindhu, son of King Chakrapani and his wife
Ugra, harassed the life of deities and Rishis. All the
deities appealed to Lord Shiva to protect from the atrocities of the demon.
Lord Ganesha took the form of Mayureshwara riding on a peacock at the
divine instruction of Lord Shiva and killed the demon Sindhu. Lord
Brahma was sanctified the idol of Lord Mayureshwara with a pronouncement that
this sacred place would remain indestructible in all four Yugas. It
is believed that the worship of Ashta Vinayak should begin with the veneration
of Lord Mayureshwara. In this temple Lord Ganesha, a self
manifested idol mounted with vermillion can be seen in the
sanctum along with his consorts. In the Sabha Mandapam housed 23
