Established in early 1893, Kasba Ganpati is known as 'Manacha Pahila Ganpati' or the most revered Ganpati in town. Considered the Grama-Devata of Pune, the story of Kasba Ganpati that goes back to 1700. When Rajmata Jijabai Bhosle arrived in town with seven other influential families, the party found an idol of this Ganpati in Kasba Peth. Since this deity is considered the lord of new beginnings, the Rajmata took this as an auspicious sign and ordered the establishment of a new colony around the area. Even today, Kasba Ganpati is the first in line to lead the immersion procession.
