Siddhatek or Siddhkshetra, Ganapati

Lord Vishnu tried to kill demons Madhu and Kaitabha and fight nearly thousand years but failed.
Then Lord Vishnu stopped the battle and took the form of Gaankushal Gandharva and began singing to please Lord Shiva and Lord Mahadev pleased. Shiva asked Vishnu to recite the Shadakshar mantra of Lord Ganesha i.e., 'Ganeshaya Namah' and in order to achieve what he wanted. Lord Visnu by chanting 'Ganeshaya Namah' got blessings of Lord Ganesha and complete his battle by killing demons Madhu and Kaitabha. Ultimately Lord Vishnu achieved siddhi here.

About temple

Vishnu then created a four-door temple on the hillok and installed the statue of Gajanan.
Since Vishnu achieved siddhi here, Ganesh was called the Siddhivinayak and the place was called
Siddhatek or Siddhkshetra. The Siddhivinayak Temple is along the Bhima River which flows
southwards. One interesting thing about the river is that however rapid its flow it does not
make any sound while flowing.

The temple is set on a hillock and faces North. The garhbhagriha, the sanctum of the temple is
five feet high and ten feet in length. The threshold of the sanctum is made of brass. Near the
temple there are small temples of other Gods Like God Shiva, Goddess Shitala and Lord Vishnu.

The deity is flanked on both sided by large statues of Jay and Vijay.
