Chintamani Ganpati Mandir ( Kalamb Yavtmal)

 Kalamb  Ganesh Mandir.

A small village near Yavatmal.

The Chintamani Ganpati Temple is located in the town of Kalamb, at a distance of 22 kms from the town of Yavatmal. 


The Ganesh temple here is the main attraction. One of the Ashtaganesh (8 Ganpati Temples), of Vidarbha, the Chintamani Ganpati, at Kalamb, is unique in that the temple is underground (around 27-30 feet). It is one of the 21 Kshetras of Ganpati in Maharashtra and was considered constructed in the 7th or 8th Century.

Located on the banks of the River Chakravarti, it is said to have been the site where Lord Ganesh blessed Lord Indra, who prayed to Him to get relieved of the curse of Rishi Gautam.
Kalamb Ganesh Mandir finds reference in the Ganesh Puran as well as the Skanda and Mudgal Puranas.

Once in 12 years, in the Hindu month of Ashwin (Sept-Oct), the water from the Ganesh Kund in front of the idol begins to rise and partially submerges the idol as per the locals. 
Temple is well-maintained and requires one to climb down medium-height steps to reach the sanctum-sanctorum (Garbagruha). One is blessed with the darshan of a 4.5 feet high Ganesha idol.
Another unique and uncommon feature of the temple is that the idol is dakshinabhimukh, i.e. facing south!
