Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India.
According to the legend, Prince Rukmangada of Kaudinya was a handsome and virtuous Prince, loved by all. Once during hunting, he stopped to rest at Sage Vachaknavi’s home. The Sage’s wife Mukunda fell in love with him and made physical advances to him, which he deftly refused. Mukunda became sad and Lord Indra, taking pity on her came to her home disguised as Rukmangada and fulfilled her wishes.
A son named Gritsamada was born to them. When the son grew up, he came to know about the truth of him being an illegitimate son of his parents. He grew sad and wandered into the forests praying all the time to Lord Ganesha to grant him inner solace and peace. Lord Ganesha appeared to him and granted him his wish. Gritsamada requested the Lord to make the forest as his abode and bless the people who visit him. Lord Ganesha agreed and took form as Varadvinayak.
The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu’ or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees.

पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार कौडिण्य के राजकुमार रुक्मंगदा एक सुंदर और गुणी राजकुमार थे, जो सभी को प्रिय थे। एक बार शिकार के दौरान वे वाचकनवी ऋषि के घर विश्राम करने के लिए रुके। ऋषि की पत्नी मुकुंद को उनसे प्यार हो गया और उन्होंने उनसे शारीरिक संबंध बनाए, जिसे उन्होंने चतुराई से मना कर दिया। मुकुंद उदास हो गया और भगवान इंद्र, उस पर दया करके रुक्मंगदा के रूप में उनके घर आए और उनकी इच्छाओं को पूरा किया।
उनसे ग्रितसमदा नाम का एक पुत्र उत्पन्न हुआ। जब बेटा बड़ा हुआ, तो उसे अपने माता-पिता के नाजायज बेटे होने की सच्चाई के बारे में पता चला। वह उदास हो गया और जंगलों में हर समय भगवान गणेश से प्रार्थना करता रहा कि वह उन्हें आंतरिक शांति और शांति प्रदान करे। भगवान गणेश ने उन्हें दर्शन दिए और उनकी इच्छा पूरी की। ग्रितसमदा ने भगवान से वन को अपना निवास स्थान बनाने और अपने आने वाले लोगों को आशीर्वाद देने का अनुरोध किया। भगवान गणेश सहमत हुए और वरदविनायक के रूप में रूप धारण किया।
अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना
