Worship of Lord Ganesha, the deity symbolizing wisdom and auspiciousness, is regarded as highly beneficial. It is believed that devotion to Ganesha, known as Vighnaharta, helps alleviate life's challenges.
Among the many temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha worldwide, one notable site is the Ganesh Bawdi Temple in Bawdi village, Nagaur district, Rajasthan. This ancient temple, estimated to be around 400 years old, is renowned for its miraculous powers, particularly in matters of marriage.
Idol of Ganesha was discovered during excavation
The Ganesh Bawdi Temple is situated in Bawdi village, where, according to local lore, the idol of Ganesha was discovered during excavation. The community subsequently placed the idol on a platform, leading to the gradual construction of the temple.
Marriage-related issues are resolved
Devotees believe that visiting the Ganesh Bawdi Temple fulfills their wishes. It is said that those facing delays in marriage should visit the temple. Offering Dhruva (a type of grass) and Moong (a lentil) while performing a Parikrama (circumambulation) on Wednesdays is thought to help resolve marriage-related issues.
