About
In the western wall, outside the temple there are images of Vinayaka in two rows, each consisting of 8 tiny images; thus, together the 16 Vinayakas is called Shodasa Vinayaka. All the tiny images are similar to each other; however, it is believed that all having different names. This is symbol of meeting the celestial to earthly; the 8 Vinayakas in the upper row represent the directional deity in the heaven, and the lower shows the earthly appearance. A huge water tank exists nearby. The platform of the nearby well consists of many inscriptions referring the renovations and repairing made by the pilgrims in the 19th century.
