Ganesh Bagh   [गणेश बाग़] 

Situated 11 km from Chithrakoot on the Allahabad-Chithrakoot Road, Ganesh Bagh is one of the most frequented gardens here. Built by the Peshwa King, Vinayak Rao, in the early 1800s, this garden was probably used as a summer retreat for royal sporting activities.
An exquisitely carved Shiva temple, locally known as the Ganesh Bagh Mandir is the main attraction here. The temple has finely engraved domes with erotic figures and resembles the temples in Khajuraho. The temple has an open porch that leads into a huge water tank that has steps on all four sides.
Another attraction is a step well. This seven-storied well, locally known as baoli, has a flight of steps leading to water.
Also present in the vicinity is a Peshwa residential palace. Though in ruins, some of the archways and corridors are still intact reliving an olden grandeur era. Some parts of this three floored building are partly immersed in water.
While visiting Ganesh Bagh, one can also visit Ramghat and Janaki Kund which are located nearby.
Situated in the suburbs of Karwi town near Siddhapur, Ganesh Bagh is easily reachable.
