Introduction and History in Brief
The 90years old Ganesha “Mohan” Temple located in Rawalpindi’s Landa Bazaar, This temple is believed to have been built by two Hindu Hakims whose names were Hakim Asa Anand and Moti Ram in 1930,
it is a square building, Even the normally octagonal shikara has a square shape.
It was an beautiful double storey building with beautiful doors and window and continues to dominate the bazaar’s landscape with its historic beauty.
Today, a Muslim family inhabits the temple.
People living out there says that Dal Mash were used in the construction of the temple. The Dal Mash was put in the water at night and was ground in the day to make paste which was applied on the outer and inner surface of the temple, a forgotten technique that was then very common.
There were two images in the temple, one of Devi and another of Devata. From the images carved in the shikhara, it appears that the temple was dedicated to Shiva and Parvati. One of the images on the Shikara is that of Ganpati “Shiva’s son. On the basis of the images, one can say that temple was dedicated to Shiva,
The image of the Ganpati has four arms holding four objects in the hands. His mount (vihana) mouse is also carved on the left leg,
People living in the temple and havelis of the Sikhs and Hindus have not damaged them. One can still see paintings on the temple’s entrance gate. The inscriptions bearing the names of the Hindus are still there.
