72 feet Ganesh Idol in Pune

Everytime we travelled across NH4 (highway between Pune-Mumbai), we kept watching this huge Lord Ganesh's idol which can be noticed from a distance. Situated on a hill top, with its beautiful location & ambiance, its a wonder within itself.

It is situated over Sahyadri Mountains, nearby Talegoan, just after crossing the Toll plaza on NH4 towards Mumbai.

The beautiful idol is 72 feets in height made from Iron, Cement & Concrete with Copper coating. It took 2 years to complete it, weighing about 1000 Tonnes. After climbing 179 stairs, one can get to this beautiful location on a nice evening.
