点评:The Vigneshwara Temple or Vighnahar Ganapati Temple of Ozar is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ganesha. The temple is one of the Ashtavinayaka, the eight revered shrines of Ganesha in Maharashtra, India. The Ganesha form worshipped here is called Vigneshwara "Lord of obstacles" and is associated with the legend of Ganesha defeating Vignasura, the demon of obstacles.
The east-facing temple features a "spacious courtyard, a grand entrance, sculptural and mural work". It is surrounded by a walled compound with a large gateway flanked by two large stone Dvarapala (gatekeepers) sculptures and a row of four musicians in bas relief on the lintel. One can view the Lenyadri shrine and Shivneri Fort standing on the wall. Two large stone Deepamalas (lamp towers) stand near the gateway in front of a fine corridor of seven cusped arches. There are owaris (small room for meditation) on both sides of the gateway. The courtyard is tiled. The central temple has three entrances with sculptured side posts and lintels; the east one being the central one. The central one has a lintel with a Ganesha in relief surrounded with monkeys and parrots on trees. The temple has two halls, with first one (20 feet high) having the entrances to the north and south too and has the imagee of Dhundiraj Ganesha. The next one (10 feet high) has a white marble mushika (the mouse, which is the vehicle of Ganesha) seating in attendance. The temple walls is filled with murals and colourful sculptures.
The shikhara - over the sanctum - is covered with gold foil. It also has two wide stone Prakarams (outer path outside a Hindu sanctum). Like all Ashtavinayaka shrines, the central Ganesha image is believed to be svayambhu (self-existent), naturally occurring in the form of an elephant-faced stone. The central icon of Ganesha faces east and is flanked with brass images of his consorts Siddhi and Riddhi. He has a left-turning trunk and is covered with sindoor (vermillion). His eyes are emeralds and his forehead and navel is also adored with diamonds.

朝东的寺庙拥有“宽敞的庭院、宏伟的入口、雕塑和壁画”。它被围墙环绕,院子里有一个大门,两侧是两座大型石头 Dvarapala(看门人)雕塑,门楣上有一排四位浅浮雕音乐家。人们可以看到站在墙上的 Lenyadri 神社和 Shivneri 堡垒。两个巨大的石头 Deepamalas(灯塔)矗立在七个尖拱形精美走廊前面的入口附近。大门两侧有owaris(冥想小房间)。庭院是瓷砖的。中央神殿有三个入口,带有雕刻的侧柱和门楣;东边的是中央的。中央的门楣上有浮雕的象头神,周围环绕着树上的猴子和鹦鹉。寺庙有两个大厅,第一个(20 英尺高)也有南北入口,并有 Dhundiraj Ganesha 的形象。下一个(10 英尺高)有一个白色大理石 mushika(老鼠,是象头神的交通工具)就座。寺庙的墙壁上布满了壁画和五颜六色的雕塑。
shikhara - 在圣所上方 - 覆盖着金箔。它还有两条宽阔的石头 Prakarams(印度教圣地外的外路)。像所有 Ashtavinayaka 神社一样,中心的象头神形象被认为是 svayambhu(独立存在),以象面石的形式自然出现。 Ganesha 的中央图标面向东方,两侧是他的配偶 Siddhi 和 Riddhi 的黄铜雕像。他有一个左转的行李箱,上面覆盖着 sindoor(朱红色)。他的眼睛是祖母绿,额头和肚脐也镶有钻石。
