The Siddhivinayak Temple (Elephant God) is a household name with the people of Mumbai. People from far and wide come over to this temple to pray including many famous film stars who come to pray early in the morning to avoid being mobbed by the crowds during the day. This Structure has been built over the original temple without demolishing the original structure that was built in 1801. The story that goes behind this temple is that it was built by a women who was a devout of the elephant god or "Ganesha" as he is known by Hindu's so that childless women could come here and ask for blessings to be able to conceive.
