Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. According to the legend associated with the Temple, King Abhinandan conducted a Yagna with the objective of overthrowing the kingdom of heaven. Alarmed Lord Indra sent the demon Kalapurush to destroy the Yagna. Kalapurush successfully destroyed the Yagna. However, he got carried away with his power and assumed the title of Vignasura, meaning the Creator of Obstacles. He systematically destroyed all Vedic rituals and Poojas that were performed by several sages and created havoc. The Gods approached Lord Ganesha for help, who defeated Vignasura. The demon realized his arrogance and surrendered to Lord Ganesha asking for mercy. Lord Ganesha promised retribution on the condition that he will not interrupt whenever Lord Ganesha is worshiped. Thus, Lord Ganesha came to be known as Vigneshwara. The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu’ or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees.  भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं।  मंदिर से जुड़ी कथा के अनुसार, राजा अभिनंदन ने स्वर्ग के राज्य को उखाड़ फेंकने के उद्देश्य से एक यज्ञ का आयोजन किया था। चिंतित भगवान इंद्र ने यज्ञ को नष्ट करने के लिए राक्षस कालपुरुष को भेजा। कालपुरुष ने यज्ञ को सफलतापूर्वक नष्ट कर दिया। हालाँकि, वह अपनी शक्ति से दूर हो गया और विग्नसुर की उपाधि धारण की, जिसका अर्थ है बाधाओं का निर्माता। उन्होंने सभी वैदिक अनुष्ठानों और पूजाओं को नष्ट कर दिया, जो कई ऋषियों द्वारा किए गए थे और तबाही मचा दी थी। देवताओं ने मदद के लिए भगवान गणेश से संपर्क किया, जिन्होंने विग्नसुर को हराया। दानव को अपने अहंकार का एहसास हुआ और उसने भगवान गणेश के सामने दया के लिए आत्मसमर्पण कर दिया। भगवान गणेश ने इस शर्त पर प्रतिशोध का वादा किया कि जब भी भगवान गणेश की पूजा की जाएगी तो वह बीच में नहीं आएंगे। इस प्रकार, भगवान गणेश को विघ्नेश्वर के रूप में जाना जाने लगा। अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना जाता है। ये देवता "जागृत" हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे अपने भक्तों की इच्छाओं को पूरा करते हैं। Learn more about your ad choices.
