Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. According to the legend, the demons Madhu and Kaitabha originated from the ears of Lord Vishnu during his Yoga Nidra (a state of consciousness between waking up and sleeping). The two demons obtained a boon from Goddess Shakti as per which they cannot be killed by any Deva or Asura unless they want to die willingly. At that time, Lord Brahma was contemplating the creation of the universe and for which he required the Vedas. The demons stole the Vedas from Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma requested Lord Vishnu for help. Lord Vishnu woke up from his deep sleep and took the form of a Hayagriva (a horse-faced creature). The battle between the Hayagriva and the two demons lasted five thousand years. Lord Vishnu realized that these demons were invincible until they were relieved of the boon granted by Goddess Shakti. He was also advised by Lord Shiva to see the blessings of Lord Ganesha before slaying the demons. It is believed that Siddhatek was the place where Lord Vishnu asked for Lord Ganesha’s blessings which the later granted happily. It is believed that Lord Vishnu himself constructed the original unique four-door temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha. However, due to natural reasons, the temple perished. Under the Peshwa rule, the temple was reconstructed and consecrated with the original idol. 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।  पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, राक्षस मधु और कैटभ भगवान विष्णु के कानों से उनकी योग निद्रा (जागने और सोने के बीच चेतना की स्थिति) के दौरान उत्पन्न हुए थे। दोनों राक्षसों ने देवी शक्ति से एक वरदान प्राप्त किया जिसके अनुसार उन्हें किसी भी देव या असुर द्वारा तब तक नहीं मारा जा सकता जब तक कि वे स्वेच्छा से मरना नहीं चाहते। उस समय, भगवान ब्रह्मा ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण पर विचार कर रहे थे और जिसके लिए उन्हें वेदों की आवश्यकता थी। राक्षसों ने भगवान ब्रह्मा से वेदों को चुरा लिया। भगवान ब्रह्मा ने भगवान विष्णु से मदद मांगी। भगवान विष्णु अपनी गहरी नींद से जाग गए और एक हयग्रीव (घोड़े के चेहरे वाला प्राणी) का रूप धारण कर लिया। हयग्रीव और दो राक्षसों के बीच की लड़ाई पांच हजार साल तक चली। भगवान विष्णु ने महसूस किया कि देवी शक्ति द्वारा दिए गए वरदान से मुक्त होने तक ये राक्षस अजेय थे। उन्हें भगवान शिव ने राक्षसों का वध करने से पहले भगवा
