About Siddhivinayak:

First consecrated in 1801 on the 19th of November, this temple has captured the hearts and minds of Ganesha devotees for over 200 years.

Lord Ganesha - also known as Chaturbhuj – has four arms, each of which carry a different object. In the upper right hand he holds a lotus and a small axe is held in his upper left hand. His lower two hands hold modaks and holy beads respectively. The deity's forehead features a third eye representing Lord Shiva. Surrounding the deity on both sides are the goddesses Riddhi and Siddhi who stand for sanctity, fulfillment, prosperity and riches..

Tuesdays are considered the most holy day for a Darshan of Lord Ganesha. Crowds in excess of 1 lac people line up over the course of this day to offer up their prayers and ask for the lord’s blessings.
