This nine-inch-tall Ganesha idol is worshipped at the Ganapati Temple. It is made of white marble quarried from Rajasthan and is enclosed in a glass casing. The shrine is made from wood and has a dome similar to the dome on top of the temple.
Located on Malabar Hill, Banganga Tank is the oldest and largest surving Hindu place of pilgrimage in Mumbai, still in its historical location. The tank has been a tirthasthan (place of pilgrimage) at least since the 12th century and stories of its origin even earlier, mentioned in the Skanda Purana. It is believed Lord Rama visited the site during his search for Sita.
The Banganga Tank caters not only to the spiritual needs of humans but is also a source of drinking water for birds and neighborhood animals, particularly during the hot summer months. The waters of the tank have a variety of fishes which are daily fed by pilgrims as an act of piety and jeeva kalyan (animal welfare).
