Located
in Prabha Devi, Mumbai, Siddhivinayak Temple was built in the 18th century.
Siddhivinayak or Lord Ganesha is the supreme deity of the temple and is famous
for being the first one to be worshipped before commencing any new work or
assignment. That is why he is also known as Vighnaharta (the terminator of
impediments).
On the
wooden doors of the shrine eight impressions of Lord Ganapati (Ashtavinayak)
are carved. Siddhivinayak temple consists of one of the eight images of the
God. Other distinct images are spread over seven temples situated in Maharashtra. The
temple is visited by the devotees all days of the year but Tuesday is the day
when maximum numbers of people come to pray to the Lord for good luck.
