A small mandap in the temple houses Siddhi Vinayak's shrine ("Ganesha who grants your wish"). Images of the Ashtavinayak are etched on the wooden sanctuary doors (the eight manifestations of Ganesha in Maharashtra). The central Ganesha idol and the inner dome of the sanctum are covered with gold plating. Additionally, there is a Hanuman temple nearby. The temple's dome-shaped facade is illuminated with a variety of colours in the evenings, and the colours are constantly changing. Shri Ganesha's statue is precisely beneath the dome. Ashtvinayak figures are etched inside the pillars.
