Скачать или смотреть Dagdusheth Ganpati: The Gold Idol of Pune !

Pune’s Dagdusheth Ganpati is one of India’s richest and most iconic idols, insured for nearly Rs. 50 crore every single day during Ganesh Chaturthi. Adorned with 40 kilos of gold, studded with precious stones, and supported by donations in crores, the trust has grown from a humble temple built in 1893 to a multi-crore institution. But the money is not just for ornaments and decoration it funds free meals at hospitals, orphanages, old-age homes, scholarships, and rural development. During the 10-day festival, the local economy booms as artisans, decorators, caterers, and vendors find employment. Dagdusheth Ganpati is not only about devotion but also about driving community welfare and economic growth.
