Built in 1725 AD by Peshva Sardar Ramji Mahadev Varad Vinayak Biwalkar, Varad Vinayak temple is situated in the pretty village near Durshet. Though the temple has a dull look from the outside, it looks marvelous with its 25 feet golden pinnacled dome.
The sanctum of the temple houses two idols of Lord Vinayak, on the two corners. Idol in the left corner is tarnished in vermillion and idol in the right is made up of white marble with trunk turned to the right. Statues of elephants spooled with gold and the stone statues of Vinayaka’s consorts presents an enchanting view. On the northern side of the temple is a Gomukh, a facade of a cow from which the holy water gushes.
Among all, the most unique attraction of this shrine is the nandadeep that is burning continuously since 1892 AD.
