Following the age-old belief, after the Rabi crop ripens in the month of Chaitra, local farmers first offer their harvest to Lord Chintaman Ganesh. They only proceed to the market to sell that. It is thought that by doing this, Lord Chintaman Ganesh removes all barriers to the farmers' work. The worshippers also make a reverse swastika and tie a thread of vow in this temple for their wishes to come true.

Chintaman Ganesh Temple is believed to be from the middle of the 9th century to the 13th i.e. Parmar period. Lion is also sitting on the top of this temple along with the domes. This temple was built in Vikram Samvat, i.e. in 155 by Maharaja Vikramaditya according to Sriyantra. After that, it was renovated during the Peshwa period. Whereas the present temple was renovated during the reign of Ahilyabai Holkar, the idol of Shri Ganesh ji installed in the temple was standing. Today, the idol is half sunken inside the ground, due to which half of the idol can be seen.
