The city of Mumbai is a mute witness to places of worship & historical
interest, which are not only popular but also of archaeological
importance.
Shree Ganesh is the first to be worshipped before beginning any new
project or venture as he is the destroyer of obstacles (vighnaharta).
This is Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple at Prabhadevi in Mumbai, a
two century old Temple that fulfills the desires of the worshipers.
