Bada Ganpati Temple
बड़ा गणपति मंदिर
A seated Ganesha statue about 7.6 meters tall, said to be one of the largest Ganesha statues in the world, made from a mix of brick, stone, and metal.
Bada Ganpati Temple was built in 1875. The Ganesha statue inside is about 25 feet tall. It was made from brick, lime, gold, silver, copper, and other metals, gemstone powder, and soil and holy water from major Indian pilgrimage sites. The statue is dressed in new garments several times a year, a process that takes several days. The temple itself is small, but the statue is impressive in scale. Entry is free, shoes must be removed, and it is on the west side of the old town, about 2 km from Rajwada Palace.
