Information
This 200 years old temple is on the corner of Kakasaheb
Gadgil Marg and S.K.Bole road,near Ravindra Natya Mandir, near
Dadar Prabhadevi, Mumbai, India.This was built up with the
finance and directions of Late Mrs.Deubai Patil, who was very rich but
had no issue.
The idea of the construction of the temple came to her
mind during the prayer time.She prayed to Lord Ganesh
and said,"God,I don't have a child,but please let all the
other childless ladies get the pleasure of having a child, on
praying you".
Later,it was
experienced that Shri.Ganesha soon blessed the request of Mrs.Deubai and
therefore, this Siddhivinayak is famous for it and known as "Navasacha Ganapati" in Marathi (ie Ganapati who fulfills your wish on praying )
The idol of Shree Siddhivinayak was carved on a single black stone
and its size is 2'6" in height and 24" wide.The
trunk is on the right side ,which is unusual.The upper right and
left hands hold a lotus and an axe, while the lower right and left
hands hold a rosary (japmala) and bowl of 'Modaks' Like
the sacred thread,a snake is seen on the left shoulder to the right
side belly.
On the forehead there is an eye, which resembles
almost the third eye of Lord Shiva.On either side of Ganesha
idol are images of goddesses 'Riddhi' and 'Siddhi' who are the
symbol of success, wealth and prosperity.
Two
large silver statues of two mice are seen inside the temple.Visitors have to approach
one of the mice,offering it Prasada and whisper their wishes
into the ear of the mouse.Devotees beleive that the wish is passed on to
Shri. Ganesha who fullfills it.
This shrine has
deities of Lord Ganesha with Riddi and Siddhi , hence it is
known by all as 'Shri. Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple ".
