The Shri Siddhivinayak Ganapati Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ganesha.

The wooden doors to the sanctum are carved with images of the Ashtavinayak (the eight manifestations of Ganesha in Maharashtra).

The exterior of the temple consists of a dome which is lit up with multiple colors in the evenings and they keep changing every few hours.

Consequently, the Bombay High Court appointed a committee headed by retired judge V P Tipnis to scrutinize the trust's donations and probe the allegations.

The only criteria for selection were recommendation or reference by trustees or the minister or a political heavy-weight, generally belonging to the ruling party".
