I live in narayan peth and work just besides dagadusheth temple hence I have been in temple contact every minute. I dont know how to explain bcz its temple but I want to tell you Dont visit this temple day time. If you are going to get your bappa only by visiting this place you may face many problems.Vendors there will force you to leave footware in front of their stall and buy flowers, sweets from them. Everytging there is commercialised. Ganapti photos is their monopoly selling gods image at high rates.You can do your pooja vidhi inside temple but need to pay.Temple area is too crowded all the day .Big issue you must know is about Parking. No sufficient parking is there. People parks their vehicle on both sides of road and then gets in police station. Parking is really biggest issue there.on chhaturthi day all yhis commercialisation became on top. New vendors will come only on this day in already congested area.You may need to wait for atleast an half an hour or hour to take darshan on chhaturthi day. Darshan will be for less than ten seconds. Guards will not allow you to stop for a second in front of ganpti.No peace is in temple just go for other ganapati temple. You may go in sarasbag siddhivinayak rather to be here in crowd to get yourself irritable.
Hotels are available at ordinary prices but im sure nobody wants to stay here in this crowdy area.
As such a large crowd its not safe here for kids and couples having baby with them.
I work here since 2yrs and now friendly with everything that irritates me there.
