Dundiraj - Pitru Puja

The lesser-known Dundi Raj Ganesh Mandir lies just a few minutes away from the acclaimed Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Heavily armed policemen are the first thing you will encounter at the entrance, and they will fiercely ward off anyone trying to take photographs even from the entrance. Though this may seem a bit much to foreign travelers, the reasons are mainly related to national security rather than preservation of sanctity. The main deity of this revered temple is Lord Ganesha who is the son of Shiva. The temple itself is ancient in nature and extremely beautiful, and if you’re a devotee, then you are in for a treat.
