I worshipped God Ganesh, who is elephant headed, who has been praised in vedas, who is popular by the name of his devotee (Ballal),who take care of his devotees & in this kritayuga who abodes is Pallipur or Pali.

Village Pali is situated between fort Sarasgad & river Amba flowing on the other side. On being pleased by devotion of Ballal, Shri Ganesh remained in the stone worshipped by Ballal & hence is called as Ballaleshwar of Pali.

Among Ashtavinayakas, Pali's Ballaleshwar is the only vinayak who is famous by his devotee's name & who is dressed up as Brahmin.Since vinayaka gave his darshan in the guise of Brahmin, idol of vinayaka at Pali is dressed up as Brahmin.

This place is vey famous & spiritually awakened. It is said that in
Peshva regime justice was done by taking kaul(answer to the question asked in the form of flower, leaves etc.)from Ballaleshwar.
