MORGAON - MAYURESWAR TEMPLE  

Coming to the miracle, the present temple is built at a much later date by one Moreshwar Gole. It has an exciting background and is imbued with mystery. This Gole was an official working in the treasury department of the Sultan of Bidar. He was a great Ganeshopasaka, known for his pious life. 

With a view to popularising the Ganesa cult, he renovated and spent lacs on the temple for making additions, like dipmalas, aisles, compound walls etc. All from the treasury of the Sultan's. The matter with mane distorted versions and exaggerated forms reached the Sultan. The Sultan meeting him at Supa, the headquarters town questioned Gole, but the reply was that the coffers were kept untouched, and he was not guilty. The sultan, on examination found the statement true. Would Lord Ganesh let down his true devotee? Would the honest labour go unrewarded?
