Vigneshwara Temple, Ozar
[edit]
- ... that the temple spire of the Vigneshwara Temple, Ozar (gate pictured)—dedicated to the Hindu god Ganesha—is covered with gold?
- Reviewed: Fisher's Ghost (film)
- Comment: Requested for 1 September - Ganesh Chaturthi. I am sorry to be late in nominating (not within 5 days before request of day), but it will be great if it makes it on Ganesh Chaturthi.

Length, cites, and creation time all add up. Hooks for special occassion seems good too as were 2 days away it should be held in the special occasion area. (though we seem to have 2-3 Ganesha hooks)
- However, im just concerned about the source for the hook which seems a bit dodgy. Can we supplement that?Lihaas (talk) 23:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- The reference (Offbeat tracks in Maharashtra. pp. 103-4) is a book by actor and travel show anchor and travel writer Milind Gunaji. --Redtigerxyz Talk 17:15, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

- I have added 1 more ref for: "Chimaji Appa, brother and military commander of the Peshwa Baji Rao I, renovated the temple and covered the shikhara (temple spire) with gold after seizing the Vasai Fort from the Portuguese". Also: "The shikhara - over the sanctum - is covered with gold foil" has the Milind Gunaji book ref. --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:50, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Since this could not make it on Ganesh Chaturthi, I request this at least be featured till September 11, when Ganesh festival - starting from Ganesh Chaturthi - ends. --Redtigerxyz Talk 13:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
