What's This About?

Join The Western Routes for the Ganesh Festival Walk on the first weekend of Ganeshotsav. On this walk, we will set out on foot and walk the bylanes of the old city, visit the 'Manache Paach' (मानाचे पाच - Honoured or Respected Five) pandals and taste traditional snacks and 'ukdiche modak'.

The Ganesh Festival holds a very special place in every Punekar's heart. In 1893, it was in Pune, that Lokmanya Tilak initiated the concept of the 'Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav' - the collective celebration of the festival of Lord Ganesha. Almost every neighbourhood puts up a pandal with an idol of Ganesh, often amidst mythological settings (also adapting contemporary themes with social messages), complete with decorative lights and music. There are numerous Ganesh mandals or temples Pune. Among these, there are five temples that have special place in the hearts of Punekars because of their history and significance. These are the मानाचे पाच (Manache Paach means Respected Five) idols or temples.

About Your Hosts

The Western Routes

The Western Routes was founded in 2011. It started as a concept that found its roots in the love for the state of Maharashtra and its native culture. Since 2015, we have ventured into curating itineraries across the country which are themed around history, culture, wildlife or food. We are determined to provide an experience of India, free of cliches and bias; an experience encompassing the warmth, beauty and culture which our country has to offer.

I am a true-blue Punekar at heart. Travel has always been a passion. So after completing masters degrees in environmental science and responsible tourism management, I worked and traveled extensively in India and abroad, exploring unique destinations, their culture and most importantly their local food. Combining my two passions - food and travel, in 2012, I launched my own travel company, The Western Routes which focuses on creating culinary and cultural itineraries across India. Rustic and local flavors is what excites and inspires me while on my food & travel explorations. I firmly believes in the famous quote by James Michener, “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home."
