Shops and services in Ganeshpuri

Banking, changing money

There is no ATM in Ganeshpuri. There is a branch of the Bank of Baroda, and in nearby Vajreshwari, another bank.

It is best to carry only the major foreign currencies (US dollars, Euros) in cash or traveller's cheques as the local banks do not always have exchange rates for other currencies. You may need to make a trip to Mumbai or Vasai to change other currencies.

Internet services

The only Internet cafe in town recently closed. You may be able to get access at Rosy's guest house.

Postal services

The Ganeshpuri Post Office will handle postage of letters and postcards. You will need to go to Vasai or Mumbai to send parcels.

Restaurants, food

There are a couple of restaurants and chai stalls in the village. Some guest houses can provide meals even if you are not staying with them.

Laundry, ironing

There are laundry/ironing services available in the village. Some hotels and guest houses offer these services.

Clothes, tailors

There are several tailors in town who can make made-to-measure clothes (including sarees, Punjabi suits and kurta pyjamas), or mend any items for you.

Puja supplies

Many shops in Ganeshpuri sell a wide range of puja items. There are also garland sellers close to the temple.
