Deva Shree Ganesha quick overview
It’s Tuesday. Alcohol? No way! Non-Veg? Not today! ‘cos today is Tuesday – the day of the ‘God of Beginnings’, the ever benevolent fulfiller of wishes – The Lord Ganesha.
The knees may ache, the ankles hurt bad, yet the horde of people continue to walk towards one common goal by foot towards the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Mandir, situated in the heart of the City of Mumbai, at Prabhadevi. The only place which causes a traffic jam on a tuesday due to the number of people on the roads, the onle place in the City of Dreams where actually dreams are fulfilled. That’s the Siddhivinayak Temple- a Hindu temple dedicated to the Lord Ganesha.
It was built in the year 1801 by one Mr. Laxman Vithu and Mrs. Deubai Patil. The exact date as per the records is November 19th, 1801.
They say Lord Ganesha grants everyone their wishes- 9 Tuesdays for a young girl looking for a groom, 3 for someone who needs a job, unlimited Tuesdays or any other day for those who surrender to this God and ask him to grant whatever he thinks is right for them. The temple has become a landmark all over India as we see people traveling to Mumbai from all parts of the country to worship Ganpati Bappa at the Siddhivinayak Temple.
Although, the security has been really beefed up in recent times as the mandir has been on the hitlist of many terrorists, it is still the one place you cannot afford not to visit in Mumbai.
No laptops or cameras are allowed inside the sanctorium. Mobile phones are allowed but you are requested to keep them off once you enter the security check at the main gate.
Also, there is a special gate where you can pay 50 bucks to enter to avoid the serpentine queues at the general gate. This gate does have a queue but it is considerably less than the general gate. Also there are special VIP entrances for which you can pay a lumpsum donation amount starting from about Rs. 5000 to enter directly inside. This facility is generally availed of by Bollywood Celebrities and politicians. The well known Desi Celebrities who visit the temple every tuesday are Ekta Kapoor (the most famous one, who walks all the way from Juhu).
