now to Morgaon, a small township in Poona district of Maharashtra -
the world-renowned yatrasthala for Ganeshopasakas in particular and

wherein Lord Ganesh produced a spectacular miracle that taught the
green-eyed monsters a fitting lesson and justified the epithet that

character.
Although believed the word of demons of jealousy about
the misappropriation of state funds by his officer Moreshwar Gole,
incharge of treasury, he decided to verify personally the truth of
the hearsay and to his surprise, he found the treasury in tact.
Another character is Moreshwar Gole, who was rescued by Lord Ganesh
with his awe-some miracle. This is also recorded in the Government
Gazette with dates and details. For full comprehension a short
account of the Mayureswar temple is essential.
