Shree Ganesh is the first to be worshipped before beginning any new project or venture as he is the destroyer of obstacles (Vighnaharta). This is Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple at Prabhadevi in Mumbai, a two-century-old Temple that fulfills the desires of the worshipers.
Arguably the most popular & significant places of worship are the Bhid Bhanjan Mahadev Temple situated at Mumbai. This temple was first consecrated on Thursday 19th November 1801, a fact that is noted in government records.
The temple then was a small structure housing the black stone idol of Bhid Bhanjan Mahadev Temple, which was two and half feet wide. The outstanding feature of this deity is the tilt of the trunk to the right side. The idol has four hands (Chaturbhuj), which contains a lotus in upper right, a small axe in upper left, holy beads in the lower right and a bowl full of Modaks (a delicacy which is a perennial favorite with Shree Siddhivinayak).
