Bade Ganeshji Ka Mandir
बड़े गणेशजी का मंदिर
A temple beside Mahakaleshwar Temple housing a huge, brightly colored statue of Ganesha; pilgrims often stop here on the way to or from Mahakaleshwar.
Bade Ganeshji Ka Mandir lies on Temple Road, on the west side of Mahakaleshwar Temple. Its vividly colored, giant Ganesha statue is considered one of the largest Ganesha statues in Ujjain. The temple also houses a Sanskrit and astrology school and a five-faced Hanuman statue. Entry is free and the site is small, so you can see it in just over ten minutes. It's an easy stop when visiting Mahakaleshwar Temple and Harsiddhi Mata Temple.
