  1. Shri Vighnahar Ganpati Temple: The Golden Dome of Ozar A sacred jewel of Maharashtra where devotion meets architectural magnificence, crowned by a shimmering golden dome that has beckoned pilgrims for centuries.

  2. The Legend of Vighnahar Ganpati The Remover of Obstacles Lord Ganesha, revered as Vighneshwar or Vighnahar, literally means "Remover of Obstacles" in Sanskrit. This ancient temple commemorates his legendary victory over the fearsome demon Vighnasura. Vighnasura wreaked havoc across the realms, disrupting sacred rituals and creating obstacles for devotees seeking spiritual enlightenment. In an epic battle, Lord Ganesha defeated the demon, restoring peace and sanctity. In a profound moment of transformation, Vighnasura repented deeply and made an extraordinary request: that his name be forever linked to Ganesha's, eternally symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
