The magnificent Shree Siddhivinayak Temple, placed in Prabhadevi, in the city of Mumbai is a revered and significant temple. This temple holds a special place in the hearts of all the ardent devotees of Lord Ganesha. The temple is devoted to Lord Ganesha, and thousands of devotees throng the temple every single day.

Shree Siddhivinayak Temple was constructed by Laxman Vithu and Deubai Patel in 1801. The temple is renowned all over the world for the various beliefs and miracles associated with it. Here a number of devotees line up to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha before they commence with any new work or undertaking.

The renovations done here have led to superb architecture and interiors of the temple. The temple was renovated in 1990. Primarily marble and pink granite stones are used in this six storied structure, which is crowned by a gold plated dome. The idol is made out of black stone and has four hands. The upper right hand holds a lotus while the upper left hand holds an axe. The idol holds holy beads in the lower right hand, and a bowl of Modaks (a sweet delicacy, known to be a favourite of Lord Ganesha) on the lower left hand. A peculiar feature of this idol is that the trunk tilts to the right direction instead of the left. The idols of two Goddesses, Riddhi and Siddhi, flanks the deity. They symbolise prosperity, fulfilment and sanctity.
