Spend 1-2 hours for Ganesha darshan and temple views. On weekends the rush will be more. During
Ganesh Chaturthi, Ganesh Jayati and other Ganesh festivals you will spend 4-5 hours for Chintamani
Ganpati darshan. At Sunday, they also serve lunch after 12 PM, at a very minimal rate of Rs 15.I
highly recommend going for that lunch.

History of Chintamani Ganpati Temple
The current temple was built by the 'Ganapatya saint Morya Gosavi' or his 'descendant Dharmadhar' (Dharanidhar). Morya Gosavi often visited the temple on his trips between his hometown Chinchwad and Morgaon, the foremost of the Ashtavinayaka temples. On every fourth lunar day after the full moon, Morya used to visit the Theur temple. Now, the temple is under the administration of the 'Chinchwad Devasthan Trust', which also governs Morgaon and Siddhatek Ashtavinayak temples.
The temple has a wooden Sabha-mandapa, which was built by Madhavraoji. The hall also has a black stone water fountain in it. Besides the central shrine dedicated to Lord Ganesha/Ganpati, there are a number of smaller shrines in the temple complex: Mahadeva (Lord Shiva) temple, Lord Vishnu-Lakshmi temple, Lord Hanumanji temple etc. Behind the temple is the Peshwa Wada – the Peshwa Palace.
