Welcome to Šri Mahã Vallabha Ganapati Devasthãnam

Success in all religious acts and mundane affairs being the goal of human beings, Hindus seek Lord Ganeša's blessings by first worshipping Him before every religious function / ceremony. Thus everything begins with worship of Lord Ganeša, the first son of Lord Šiva (Matter) and Universal Mother Goddess Pãrvati - Shakti (energy).

Elephant-headed and with a human form, He represents universality of creation, said to begin with the first sound "Om" or "Pranava" from which all veda mantras (holy hymns) originate. Lord Ganeša is the presiding deity of our Temple. Continuous religious services and worship of consecrated vigrahas (idols) with devotion bestow divine vibrations in Temples. The omnipotent God dwells in each one of us and we have only to delve deeply within to reach Him and relate to Him.
