About Siddhivinayak Temple
The famous Siddhivinayak temple of India was built on 19 November 1801 by a local contractor named Lakshman Vithu Patil. This temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, although very few people know that the amount involved in the construction of this temple was given by a farmer woman who had no children. The gates of this temple are open to the people of every religion caste.
