The Ganesh Temple at Tasgaon is dedicated to the elephant-headed god Ganesh. The construction of a temple was begun in 1779 by Parasuram Bhau Patwardhan who fought against Tipu Sultan and Haider Khan in South Mulukhgiri during the Peshwa period as the Commander-in-Chief of the Marathas, laid the foundation stone of the temple, and was completed by his son Appaji Patwardhan in 1799. The construction of the temple took 20 years. The temple was built by artisans from the Vadar community in Karnataka.

The New Palace was constructed in 1877-84 and has been the residence of Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj. The beautiful palace is built in black polished stone and is a marvelous architectural feat. The whole building is eight-angled and has a tower in the middle. The principal south facade presents a double-storeyed range, with Neo-Mughal lobed arches beneath and temple-like columns and brackets above. This scheme is interrupted by trefoil arches capped with curving cornices and small domes. The same elements cap the octagonal corner towers. The central porch is marked by a pronounced curved cornice. To one side rises a 45m high clock tower capped with an octagonal domed pavilion.
