Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. The legend associated with the Temple has two distinct versions. According to one version, Sage Gritsamad’s son Tripurasur was a well-learned young boy and a devotee of Lord Ganesha. Pleased by his devotion and prayers, Lord Ganesha blessed the boy and presented him with three pura’s made of precious metals, which can be destroyed only by Lord Shiva. Over a period of time, Tripurasur grew to be vain and created chaos in the world. Even Lord Brahma and Vishnu were disturbed by his atrocities and were forced to go into hiding. Sage Narada advised the frightened gods that they should take the help of Lord Ganesh. The Gods decided to invoke Lord Ganesh, who appeared and accepted to help them. Lord Ganesh disguised as a Brahmin and met Tripurasur under the pretext of creating three flying planes. In return, he ordered Tripurasur to bring the Chintamani idol from Mount Kailash. The greedy Tripurasur went to Mount Kailash and fought with Lord Shiva for the idol. Lord Shiva realized that he had not offered his prayers to Lord Ganesh first, and hence was unable to destroy the pura’s or defeat him. He recited the Sadaakshar Mantra and invoked Lord Ganesh, who emerged and gave him the instructions for defeating Tripurasur. Lord Shiva followed the directions and defeated the greedy Tripurasur at also created a temple for Lord Ganesh at that spot. As per another legend, when proceeding to the war against the demon Tripurasur, Lord Shiva fails to seek the blessing of Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha breaks the axle of the chariot that Lord Shiva was traveling in. Realizing his mistake, Lord Shiva pays respect to Lord Shiva and then proceeds to a victorious battle against the demon. In honor of his son, he is supposed to have consecrated the idol at the site. 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.  भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं।  मंदिर से जुड़ी कथा के दो अलग-अलग संस्करण हैं। एक संस्करण के अनुसार, ऋषि ग्रितसमद का पुत्र त्रिपुरासुर एक पढ़ा-लिखा युवा लड़का था और भगवान गणेश का भक्त था। उनकी भक्ति और प्रार्थना से प्रसन्न होकर, भगवान गणेश ने लड़के को आशीर्वाद दिया और उन्हें कीमती धातुओं से बने तीन पुरा भेंट किए, जिन्हें केवल भगवान शिव ही नष्ट कर सकते हैं। समय के साथ, त्रिपुरासुर व्यर्थ हो गया और दुनिया में अराजकता पैदा कर दी। यहां तक ​​कि भगवान ब्रह्मा और विष्णु भी उनके अत्याचारों से परेशान थे और उन्हें छिपने के लिए मजबूर किया गया था। ऋषि नारद ने भयभीत देवताओं को सलाह दी कि वे भगवान गणेश की सहायता लें। देवताओं ने भगवान गणेश का आह्वान करने का फैसला किया, जो प्रकट हु
