The temple The original wooden temple was renovated in 1760 to make way for a
new stone temple designed by Shri Fadnis.
This stone is shaped in the
form of the letter 'shree'; it was made by mixing lead with the cement
during construction.
The east-facing temple was carefully positioned
so that during Dakshinayan at sun-rise, the rays of the sun falls directly on the
Vinayaka.
