chintaman ganesha ujjain






Chintaman ganesha resides in the holy city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India. City of Ujjain is ruled over by Lord Shiva in his powerful visage of Mahakal. He is worshipped as King of Ujjain, and his son Ganesha takes away worries of residents and visitors to Ujjain.



Lord Ganesha temple is believed to have been built around 12th century by the Paramara kings. The self appeared idol of Ganesha is flanked on both sides by his two wives, Riddhi and Siddhi. The ancient temple has provided solace to devotees through the centuries, and still continues to do so. People come from far of places to seek blessings of Vignaharta and Sukhkarta. It is a popular belief among the people, that Lord Ganesha himself constructed this temple by coming on earth.

A peculiar thing about the temple is that, Lord Vishnu resides at the location along with Ganesha. Both the gods are worshipped with reverence at the place.
