message: As every Hindu is fully aware that a Ganesh idol must have its trunk positioned to the left side of the idol. However, we see that the trunk of this idol is in right side. We all know that this Idol belongs to rusht Ganesh; meaning that it is not an idol of the usual Ganesh we Hindus worship. It is well known to all that worshiping rusht Ganesh is not recommended as it can be very hazardous to the worshippers. We also know that the Peswai of Maratha rule collapsed as Peshwa Madhawrao began to worship before idol of rusht ganesh. Some suggest that it is not true Ganesh that normally Hindus worship. There are other characteristics of true Ganesh such as big belly and having Aayudha (implements) in both upper hands but in this image we see that the belly of idol is not much. Also both upper hands do not hold any implements but index fingers are pointing to opposite directions. I very much feel some serious research into this matter is done. I also want to suggest that in this page a photo of the idol is shown, so that the points I have mentioned are observed properly. I am also wondering the date and other details about construction of the temple. As per my records the temple was built by a Brahman in 1730 and he was a wizard. More research I requst by other historians needed. Pathare Prabhu (talk) 14:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "As every Hindu is fully aware that a Ganesh idol must have its trunk positioned to the left side of the idol." No. This is inaccurate. Many iconographic treatises about a right-turned trunk. In fact, a Ganesha with a right-trunk is known as "Siddhivinayak", the Ganesha who is given of siddhis. Other comments also are pure WP:OR. --Redtigerxyz  Talk  06:29, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Is it truly Ganesh or some other diety?

message: I thought that adding the significance of "Tuesday visits" is essential information. An unaware person may not be able to even see the deity if not pre-warned. I am not sure how to add this within the guidelines of Wiki, but the suggested text is:
The temple attracts a large crowd of devotees on Tuesday - considered to be a vey auspicious day. The temple is open from 0600 hours to 22.00 hours from Wednesday to Monday and longer on Tuesday. If planning to visit on a Tuesday, it is advised to plan ahead due to serpentine queues. (This information is also available on the [official site] http://www.siddhivinayak.org/dailyaartischedule.htm and also mentioned in the Times of india [Article]http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/155861.cms)
Will welcome advise on how to add. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sumie (talk • contribs) 20:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As the article already provides a link to the official site for the temple which provides hours of operation it seems that this is a detail that is best left out of the article.  I also am unlcear on what Wiki policy may be on such details.  Compare the exhaustive article on Disneyland which covers many things, but I did not see hours of operation (perhaps they are there, but I did not see them). Buddhipriya 21:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Is there a reason why edits are reverted so that history is not viewed? This will result in spending time to deal with this new issue and then rewording the article, thus wasting time which could have been avoided.
