About

The Chintaman Ganesh Temple in Ujjain is one of the four self-manifested (Swayambhu) Ganesh shrines in India. The name means 'one who relieves all worries', and the temple has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

The current structure was built in the 11th century CE. Ujjain itself is one of Hinduism's seven most sacred cities, and this temple is central to the religious life of the city during the annual Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
