Dagdusheth Ganpati Ganeshotsav 2026 - Vrindavan's Prem Mandir

For the 134th edition of Ganeshotsav, the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Trust and Suvarnayug Tarun Mandal are recreating Vrindavan's iconic Prem Mandir as this year's thematic pandal — a marble-style North Indian temple replica measuring roughly 120 feet long, 90 feet wide and 100 feet tall. The structure depicts scenes from Krishna's life including Raas Leela, Govardhan Leela and Jhula celebrations, under the theme "Where devotion becomes love and love becomes divinity," symbolising the divine love of Radha and Krishna. It is being built by art director Nitesh Kumar with design partner Glittery Events, and a decorative entrance arch will also go up at nearby Budhwar Chowk. Dagdusheth Ganpati is one of Pune's most-visited pandals through the 10-day festival. Source: https://www.punekarnews.in/pune-ganeshotsav-2026-dagdusheth-trust-to-recreate-vrindavans-prem-mandir/
