Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is sought before every beginning and to clear the knots a difficult chart can place in the way.
Darshan, seva and donations here are carried out on the temple’s own official website. We point you straight to it — no account needed — and the offering goes directly to the shrine.
The Siddhivinayak temple honours Ganesha as the granter of wishes, his idol carved with the trunk turned to the right. It is among the most frequented shrines in Mumbai, with worshippers from every walk of city life. Tuesdays, sacred to Ganesha, see the longest queues as devotees come to begin ventures under his blessing.
The original temple was built in 1801; the present larger structure has grown around that early shrine.
The shrine is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, and devotees come from across the country for darshan in the inner sanctum. What follows is the heart of what each pilgrim seeks here.
