Chintaman Ganesha Temple
This Ganesha stone temple is located in the middle of the market, and dates back to 11th and 12th centuries a.d. when the Paramaras ruled over Malwa (Madhya Pradesh).
The finely-carved stone pillars in the assembly hall and the white shrine define the age-old sanctity of the temple.
The Ganesha idol enshrined in this temple is supposed to be swayamabhu (born of itself). Also called Vighneshwara, the moderator of grief, Ganesha is always the first to be worshipped in the Hindu pantheon,
lest he decide to sow obstacles in the devotees' path. His consorts, Ridhhi and Siddhi, flank Chintaman, the assuager of all worries. Locally, Ganesha is also referred to as Chintaman.
