Atharvashirsha Ganesh Stotra Ganesh Mantra All Artis Non-Stop SiddhiVinayak Arti Picture Gallery Location Plan Google Earth View 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 ". Click on Thumbnail and see below
