Upholding the tradition of worshipping Lord Ganesh before all endeavors, the 32-feet-tall Vignaharan Ganesh is the first deity you will be offering prayers to at the temple. The white statue of the Vignaharan Ganapati is seated first in your path of pilgrimage at the Shiv Mandir, blessing you with his right hand and a modak in his left hand. The word Vighnaharan means “remover of all obstacles.” You can feel his presence as this supreme Vignaharan Ganapati, along with our worldly problems, lifts the veil of spiritual obstacles that cloud our visions and elevates our level of consciousness.
