The idol is Trinetra, meaning it has three eyes. 5 aartis are sung in the entire day, at 6 am, 9 am, noon, 6.30 pm and 8 pm. The special day of Lord Ganesh, Wednesday, is the most frequented by devotees, and a special aarti takes place for the deity. Ganesh Chathurthi is celebrated here in the most grand and pompous way. The fort’s premises also hold some ruins, Badal Mahal, Phansi Ghar, Dhula Mahal and Hameer’s court. The other side of the fort has deteriorated from years together, so it has become a dense jungle and a natural habitat to wild animals and birds.
