The Maharashtra tourism department has come up with a unique initiative. The department has organised free pandal hopping tours for the elderly. They will be taken on a guided tour to the five ‘Manache Ganpati’ — Kasba Ganpati, Tambadi Jogeshwari Ganpati, Guruji Talim Ganpati, Tulshi Baug Ganpati and Kesariwada Ganpati. Along with these five, the tour will also visit Dagdusheth Ganpati and Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati.
The state tourism department has arranged AC PMPML buses from three locations — Shivajinagar, Swargate and Pune railway station. They will be given VIP entry for darshan at all these locations. The buses will leave on September 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 between 8 am and noon for five days.
The attendees would be accompanied by a guide from the state tourism department who will provide information about the Ganpati mandals and their history. The Pune Municipal Corporation will provide doctors to help these senior citizens who will be with them on their tour.
To book the tour, please contact 7887399217 or 888836347.
