Court Hill Sri Ganesar Temple

This guide traces Court Hill Sri Ganesar Temple back to 1897, when a gardener set a small Ganesha idol beneath a bael tree in a colonial orchard and a British officer named Wagner tried to have the shrine removed. It follows the story locals still tell about what happened to Wagner next, and the temple's later role for lawyers heading up the slope to the courts. Listen for the twice-daily conch-shell ritual that has run since 1939.
