Main localities in Pimpri Chinchwad are Chinchwad, Pimpri, Nigdi, Akurdi and Bhosari. The name Chinch-wad is derived from trees Chinch (tamarind) and Wad (banyan). Chinchwad is famous for Saint Morya Gosavi’s Shrine which is one of the lord Ganesha’s shaktipeeth in Maharashtra state. Due to the flooding of river Pavana every year the temple gets submerged in the river water. Local people consider it as bathing of lord ganesha.
