Unlike any other Ganpati idol, Dagdusheth Ganpati casts a spell with its distinctive features, intricate ornaments and all its divine glory.

The temple idol is currently insured for $1,60,000 (approximately Rs 1 crore). The Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Temple Trust, which is a part of the Mandal carries out various activities of social welfare. The first idol was built in 1893 by Baburao Naik with paper and sticky jaggery glue (randha) at an expense of Rs 22 and was formally installed by Lokmanya Tilak. This historic idol is now in the Akara Maruti Mandir of Shukrawar Peth. The second idol was built by noted sweet merchant Dagdusheth Halwai in 1896, the year Pune was struck by the plague that claimed his son. The grieving parents, Dagdusheth and his wife Lakshmi, were advised by their guru to build idols of Datta and Ganesha. The third idol was commissioned on Dagdusheth’s 75th anniversary in 1967 and is built of Plaster of Paris by an acclaimed sculptor from Karnataka, Nagesh Shilpi at a cost of Rs 1,125.
