The Dashabhuja Temple is a Hindu temple in Pune, in the Maharashtra state of India. This temple was once owned by Sardar Haripant Phadke, a Sardar of Peshwa and was later donated to the Peshwas as dowry. Dashabhuja Ganapati temple is visited by thousands of devotees every day and the number increases during Ganesh Chaturthi.[1] The idol of Ganpati or Ganesh seen here has his elephant trunk resting on his right-hand side, which is supposed to be rarer and more sacred than other forms of the Ganesh idol.[2]
