Description The history encompassing this idol states that Vighnasura, a demon was created by the King of Gods, Indra to destroy the prayer organized by King Abhinandan. However, the demon went a step further and destroyed all vedic, religious acts and to answer the people's prayers for protection, Ganesh was called to defeat him. Ganesha was of course victorious. The story goes on to say that once being conquered, the demon begged Ganesha to show him mercy. Ganesha then granted in his plea, but on the condition that the demon should not go to the place where Ganesha is being worshiped. In return the demon asked a favour that his name should be taken before Ganesha's name, thus the name of Ganesha became Vighnahar or Vighneshwar (Vighna in Sanskrit means a sudden interruption in the ongoing work due to some unforeseen, unwarranted event or cause). The Ganesha here is called Shri Vighneshwar Vinayak, which also means simply "the remover of obstacles".
