The Ganapati Idol Mystery

For Rishabh Paranjape, a maths-loving student who finds History painfully dull, the past belongs in dusty textbooks. But a strange dream, a spooky encounter and a school assignment soon change everything.

With his history-loving best friend Riddhima—his affectionate “Panda”—Rishabh is drawn into investigating the mysterious theft of a Ganapati idol from Pune’s Rajya Marathi Bhasha Sangrahalaya in 1972. Their search takes them on a thrilling journey through time, where every clue brings them closer to the truth—and every decision risks changing the present they know.

As Rishabh and Riddhima face ghostly encounters, unexpected dangers and the secrets of Pune’s heritage, History becomes far more exciting than he ever imagined. Their spirited friendship may hold a hint of something more, but can they solve the mystery and set the past right without rewriting their future?

A lively blend of mystery, heritage and time travel, The Ganapati Idol Mystery is an adventure for readers aged 12 and up.
