History & tradition
The Vigneshwara Temple, also called the Vighnahar Ganapati Temple, is at Ozar in Maharashtra, about 85 km from Pune off the Pune–Nashik highway and 9 km north of Narayangaon. It is one of the Ashtavinayaka, the eight revered shrines of Ganesha in the state. Ganesha is worshipped here as Vigneshwara, lord of obstacles, or Vighnahar, remover of obstacles, a name linked with the legend of his victory over Vighnasura, the demon of obstacles. The Ashtavinayaka shrine at Lenyadri is in the same area.
