As you go from Sandava across Rokdoba Hanuman temple near Modakeshwar towards Panchavati, you come across this temple with twenty steps at Ganeshwadi. The legend behind this temple is that the Ganesh idol grows by the size of a sesame (til) on every Sankrant (G) day and hence it derives name Tilya Ganapati. Also this Ganesh temple lends the name Ganeshwadi to this area. This east-facing deity was found while digging the foundation of Damodar Dagdusheth Sonar’s house. His eighth generation, which has adopted a surname Bhadakwade is now looking after the idol and the temple. This temple was built hundred years before the present day Kala Ram temple. A big fare is held here on Tili Sankrant day and old Nashikites attend it without forget. Bhadakwade family members themselves perform puja as there have been instances of calamity befalling the family whenever there was a break in the tradition of family members performing puja.
