The Ganapati temple of Redi is located approximately 30 km from Vengurla, in the small village of Redi. The town in which this temple is situated contains iron mines and the Ganpati idol was found in one of the mines near Rewati port in 1976. A local person by the name of Sadashiv Kambli supposedly visualized a buried statue of Lord Ganesha in his dream and convinced local workers to dig out the statue from the seashore. Now, after an investigation it has been found that the statue was made by the #pandava during their rule. The statue is approximately 6 ft in height and 4 ft in width. The Ganesh idol is in a sitting position and is Dwibhuja (two arms) as compared to rest of the idols which are generally Chaturbhuja (four arms). The mouse idol was found on further excavation after two months. #Unexplored #ColorsOfKonkan by पूजा @poojaghatate #चाकरमानी #rediganpati #Redibeach #ganesha #temple #vengurla #konkantourism #maharashtratourism ➖#➖ #Chakarmanee is the kind of concept which will change the way you see the konkan forever !

The Ganpati Temple in the small village of Redi consists of a Ganpati idol of approximately 15 meters in height. It is believed that on 18th April 1976, a truck driver slept after parking his truck in a particular place. Lord Ganesha made an appearance in his dream and asked him to dig at the very same place as the Lord was residing there.

The truck driver started digging and to everyone's surprise, he found a two-handed Ganesha idol which was carved in solid rock. Hence, it was decided to build a temple at that particular spot. Later, they also found a big mouse idol by excavating in the same area. This is how the Redi Temple was established.
