The Siddhivinayak temple is one of the Ashtavinayaka, or eight revered Ganesha temples in Maharashtra, India, and the only one in the Ahmednagar district.
Though Siddhatek is designated as the second temple to be visited in the Ashtavinayak circuit after Morgaon, pilgrims frequently visit it third, after Morgaon and Theur, because it is the most convenient path.The Ganesha emblem shows his trunk turned to the right. Ganesha's trunk is usually represented as turned to the left. It is said that the right-trunked Ganesha is extremely powerful but difficult to please. This is the only Ashtavinayaka temple with the deity's trunk to the right. Traditionally, a symbol with a trunk to the right is known as Siddhi-Vinayaka or the giver of siddhi (accomplishment, success, supernatural powers). 

The temple is consequently regarded as a jagrut kshetra, with the god supposed to be extremely strong. 

According to the Mudgala Purana, at the beginning of Creation, the creator-god Brahma emerges from a lotus, raising the navel of the god Vishnu while he rests in his yoga nidra. While Brahma is constructing the universe, two demons, Madhu and Kaitabha, emerge from the dirt in Vishnu's ear. The demons interrupt Brahma's creation process, causing Vishnu to awaken. Vishnu fights the battle, but he cannot overcome them. He questions the god Shiva about the cause behind this.

Shiva advises Vishnu that he cannot win since he forgot to invoke Ganesha, the god of beginnings and obstacle elimination, before the combat. As a result, Vishnu practises penance at Siddhatek, summoning Ganesha with the mantra "Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah".

Ganesha is pleased, bestowing his blessings and several siddhis. After this, Vishnu returns and defeats the demons. The location where Vishnu attained siddhis became known as Siddhatek.

Shri Kamakhya Devi Temple – A Sacred Siddha Peeth of Tantric Worship

Shri Kamakhya Devi Temple, located on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, is counted among the 52 Shakti Peeths as per the Puranas and is considered a twin to the Kashi Kamakhya Devi Temple. In this temple, the idol of the goddess is enshrined as the Shri Mahamudra Yantra, making it a unique Siddha Yantra Peeth where Goddess Kamakhya is venerated as the deity of Tantra.

After the three days, the garbha griha is reopened for the Mahabhishek and annual darshan of the Shri Mahamudra Yantra.

A central ritual of the festival is the performance of 108 parikramas (circumambulations). The poojit laal vastra (consecrated red cloth) and the holy water from the abhishek (ritual bath) are highly regarded in religious and Tantric practices for their significance in alleviating suffering and enhancing spiritual protection.

As described in the Kamakhya Tantra:

"Yoni-mantra shariraya Kunjavasini Kamada.
Rajasvala Mahateja Kamakshi Dhyeyatam Sada."

Inside the garbha griha, devotees will find idols of Shri Kodhan Bhairav Ji, Shri Bhadra Kali Ji, Shri Hanuman Ji, and Shri Chausath Yogini Ji, surrounded by the Ashta Bhairavas of Kashi. In the temple courtyard, one encounters sacred deities including Shri Dhriṣhṇameshwar Jyotirling, Shri Dhannajay Kupa, Shri Pratyangira Devi Ji, Shri Jivit Samadhi, and Shri Akhand Dhuna.
