Siddhivinayak Temple Mumbai
About
Mumbai's most famous Ganesha temple visited by millions of devotees. Located in Prabhadevi, this revered shrine was built in 1801 by Laxman Vithu and Deubai Patil. The temple's inner sanctum houses a unique Ganesh idol carved from a single black stone, with the trunk tilting to the right—a rare auspicious form. The wooden doors feature Ashtavinayak carvings by local artists. On Tuesdays, devotees queue for hours, with lines stretching several blocks. The temple was renovated extensively in the 1990s with gold plating on its dome. Bollywood celebrities, cricketers, and politicians regularly visit for blessings before major ventures.
