स्थल-पुराण

कथा, इतिहास एवं महत्व

Mudgala Purana

Siddhatek is included in the enumeration of the eight kshetras; the narrative of Vishnu's tapasya is given here

Ganesha Purana

At the dawn of creation, while Vishnu lay in yoga-nidra Brahma emerged on a lotus from his navel; from dirt in Vishnu's ear the demons Madhu and Kaitabha arose and disturbed Brahma's creation; Vishnu fought them for 1,000/5,000 years without success; Shiva advised that Vishnu had begun the fight without invoking Ganesha; Vishnu performed tapasya on the Siddhatek hillock chanting 'Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah'; Ganesha appeared and bestowed siddhi; Vishnu returned and slew Madhu-Kaitabha. 'Siddhi' + 'tek' (hillock) = Siddhatek.

संत एवं परम्परा

  • Vishnu — performed tapasya here to attain the siddhi needed to slay Madhu-Kaitabha; per Puranic tradition founded the shrine
  • Maharshi Vyasa — Siddhatek tapasya-siddhi tradition
  • Sage Bhrushundi — Siddhatek tapasya-siddhi tradition
  • Sant Morya Gosavi (samadhi 1561 CE) — Ashtavinayaka-wide tapasya; preserved the Siddhatek siddhi-tradition
  • Sant Narayan Maharaj (Kedgaon) — Ganapatya sampradaya lineage
  • Punyashlok Ahilyabai Holkar (Maharani of Indore; late 18th century) — patronised the construction of the present garbhagriha
  • Sardar Haripant Phadke (Peshwa Senapati) — built the Nagarkhana, paved pathway, river ghat and wada; the historical 21×21 parikrama-sankalpa-siddhi narrative
  • Chinchwad Devasthan Trust (Dev family descendants of Morya Gosavi) — modern administration
