Pune, Maharashtra – September 2025: Actor, model, and international titleholder Dr. Eesha Agarwal recently visited the Shreemant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati, India’s first public Ganpati, established in 1892. The 134-year-old murti and the historic Rangari Bhavan continue to stand as symbols of devotion, heritage, and India’s freedom struggle.
During her visit, Eesha experienced the unique blend of spirituality and history that the temple represents. The Rangari Bhavan, where weapons were once hidden to fuel the uprising against British rule, remains a living testimony to the courage and patriotism of India’s freedom fighters.
“Standing in that sacred space was truly humbling. The murti radiates divine energy, while the Bhavan preserves a part of our nation’s struggle for independence. It reminded me how rich and powerful our heritage is, especially here in Maharashtra. I felt immense pride, devotion, and gratitude,” said Eesha Agarwal.
The Shreemant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati is not only a site of religious significance but also a cultural landmark that bridges spirituality with national pride. Established during a time when public gatherings were discouraged under British rule, it became a center for unity, devotion, and patriotic inspiration.
Eesha’s visit highlighted the importance of remembering such legacies that go beyond religious celebrations. “Faith and freedom have always gone hand in hand in our country. Visiting the Rangari Ganpati was not just a darshan but a journey into India’s glorious past. It is a reminder to honor the sacrifices made, while carrying forward devotion and unity in our own lives,” she added.
As Ganesh Chaturthi continues to be celebrated with grandeur across Maharashtra and India, the Shreemant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati stands tall as a timeless reminder of the power of devotion combined with courage.
Eesha concluded her visit with heartfelt prayers and expressed her gratitude to the organizers for preserving and sharing this extraordinary legacy with the public.
Ganpati Bappa Morya! 🙏🏻✨
