Shree Siddhivinayak

Lets start with my first sketch i.e. of Shree Siddhivinayak, Lord Ganesha. The sketch is done with o.5mm 2b pencil.



The Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ganesha. It is located in Prabhadevi,Dadar, Mumbai, Maharashtra. It was originally built by Mr. Laxman Vithu and Mrs. Deubai Patil in November 19th, 1801.



The temple has a small mandapam (hall) with the shrine for Siddhi Vinayak ("Ganesha that grants your wish"). The wooden doors to the sanctum are carved with images of the Ashtavinayak (the eight manifestations of Ganesha in Maharashtra). The inner roof of the sanctum is plated with gold, and the central statute is of Ganesha.

For more information about the temple, we can visit at http://www.siddhivinayak.org/home.asp
