I would like to post information about Ashtavinayak.
Moreshawar temple at Pune
SHREE MAYURESHWAR’S IDOL
The deity ‘Moreshwara’ is in sitting posture, facing east with the trunk turning left & smeared with vermillion mixed in oil. In its eyes & navel, diamonds are embedded. On its head is the hood of Nagaraja. On left & right are brass idols of Siddhi & Buddhi. In front of the idol are the Mooshaka (Rat) & Mayura (Peacock). On doing Abhishek on ‘Moreshwar’all desires are fulfilled.
The original idol of Moreshwar was small in size. As many layers of vermillion are applied on it, it looks bigger. Sometimes after 100 & 125 years this armour of vermillion casts off & original beautiful idol inside this armour is seen again. It has been heard that Mayureshwar’s armour had been cast off in 1788 & 1822 A.D.
The original small idol wasa made up of atoms of sand,iron & diamonds & it is behind the present statue. It was consecrated by God Brahma reconsecrated it twice. After few years pandavas came there for Pilgrimage. They enclosed the idol in tin sheet, so that nobody can try to destroy it.
The Main temple facing towards north is in the center of village & looks like a small fortess or Chateu. Moragaon, situated on the banks of river Karha comes in Baramati Taluka, in District Pune. It is said that shape of this place is like a peacock & once upon a time there were so many peacocks in the Morgaon, as such it is called as Mayureshwar
The main temple is made up of Black stone. The temple constructed during Bahamani regime was built in typical Moghule style by Mr.Gole, a Hindu officer in the court of Patshah.
