Siddhivinayak Temple, Mumbai
The temple is especially revered for fulfilling wishes, and hence Ganesha here is lovingly called “Navasacha Ganapati” (the one who fulfills vows).
Architecture of the Temple
The temple is a multi-storied complex with a gold-plated dome over the sanctum.
The idol of Lord Ganesha is carved out of a single black stone, around 2.5 feet high and 2 feet wide, with the trunk curving to the right (a rare form).
The deity has four arms (Chaturbhuj), holding a lotus, axe, modak (sweet), and rosary.
The temple also houses idols of Riddhi and Siddhi, goddesses representing prosperity and spiritual power.
The inner sanctum is surrounded by marble and gold, giving it a royal and divine appearance.
