Shree Ganesh is the first to be worshipped before beginning any new project or venture as he is the destroyer of obstacles (Vighnaharta). Shri Siddhi Vinayaka, the presiding deity of this temple is believed to grant one's desires and wishes as per a common belief among Vinayaka [Ganesha] devotees. In fact "Siddhi" means attainment.

It was built in 1801 by a childless, rich woman who prays to be given an offspring and believe that Lord Ganesha will grant the same to others.
