Morya Gosavi was a famous devotee of Lord Ganesha in the 14th century, during the time of Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, originally from village called Shaligram in Karnataka, who later settled down in Chinchwad, near Pune.

His devotion to Lord Ganesha was looked upon as madness and through severe penance he attained siddhi at Shree Chintamani where his son built the temple to commemorate the event.

Overwhelmed by the devotion of Moryaji, he was blessed by Lord Ganesha to fullfill any of his wish. Morya asked to be remembered forever on this earth whenever anyone remembers his Lord, as his 'Param Bhakt'. Thus this depicts the inseparable relationship between God and his devotee.
