Siddhatek

Siddhatek is a town in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India on the Bhima River. The town has a Hindu temple to Siddhi Vināyaka, the right-tusked incarnation of Ganesha as "Masterful Remover". Legends say the north-facing temole was built to commemorate the place where Vishnu defeated the Asuras Madhu-Kaitabh with the blessing of Siddhi Vināyaka. The shrine is particularly popular during the festivals of Ganesh Jayanti, Vijayadashami and Somvati Amavasya.
