This temple is situated near river Bhim in the Ahamadnagar district of Maharashtra. It is believed that the Siddhatek mountain was present here where Lord Vishnu prayed. It is said that Lord Vishnu slept during the creation of the planet earth. During this period, two demons Madhu and Kaitabh appeared out of Lord Vishnu’s ears and started destroying everything. All the Devas started offering their prayers to Lord Vishnu. He woke up and tried to kill those demons. 

Lord Vishnu was unable to kill them and offered his prayers to Lord Shiva. When Lord Shiva appeared he said that Lord Vishnu won’t be able to kill them unless he is blessed by Lord Ganesha. Lord Vishnu offered his prayers to Lord Ganesha and was blessed. He was then able to kill the two demons. It is believed that Lord Vishnu built this temple on the Siddhatek mountain and offered his prayers to Lord Ganesha so that Lord Brahma could easily complete the creation of earth. This place is hence called Siddhatek. Saint Vyas also offered austerities in this place. Siddhivinayak is considered the most powerful out of Ashtavinayak.
