For the development of facilities for the devotees visiting Siddhivinayak Temple, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has allocated over INR 100 crores.
This development plan includes the beautification of the temple surroundings, construction of an independent road leading to the temple, installation of 5-star toilet facilities, provision of parking spaces, and the implementation of special facilities for pregnant women and senior citizens.
Moreover, the BMC has initiated the tender process to enlist the expertise of world-class advisors to oversee these initiatives.
As part of the development plan, the Metro train station adjacent to the temple will be linked directly and named the Siddhivinayak Temple station. Additionally, traffic management measures will be implemented to ensure smooth access to the temple without encountering congestion issues.
All roads connected to the Siddhivinayak temple will be widened and developed. Bus services to the temple will be available every 5 minutes from Dadar station to the temple and vice versa, with a fare of INR 5 per journey.
Moreover, there will be two gates, Riddhi and Siddhi gates and the trust have performed the bhoomi poojan of the Riddhi gate. The temple will be developed similarly to Shirdi or any other major temple.
In the queue, devotees will have access to toilet and water facilities. All the toilets are designed to 5-star standards. They are also developing a beautiful garden outside the temple where people can spend some time with their families.
Besides, as part of this initiative, flower vendors along C K Bole Marg will be relocated to K Kakasaheb Gadgil Marg, away from the main route to the temple to avoid inconvenience to people visiting temple.
MLA and Chairman of the Siddhivinayak Temple Trust, Sada Sarvankar, along with BMC Additional Commissioner Ramakant Biradar (Zone-2), have spearheaded this development initiative under the guidance of Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal and Additional Commissioner Ashwini Joshi.
