History- The Siddivinayak Temple is believed to be primarily built by Lord Vishnu, though later it was rebuilt by the Peshwas. According to one of the most popular Hindu beliefs, it is so said that while Lord Brahma was on his way to create the world, Lord Vishnu fell asleep. Two demons came out of his ears and started troubling everyone. Upon the request of all Gods Lord Vishnu tried to kill them, but failed. He then stated worshipping Ganesha. With his blessings he could finally defeat the demons.
Hence the place is called Siddhatek and Lord Ganesha is called Siddhivinayak.
