To propitiate the deity, devotees often perform pradakshina (Circumambulation) of the hillock seven times, even though there is no paved road and the path passes through thorny shrubs. The temple stands on a hillock, surrounded by the thick foliage of Babul trees and is located approximately 1 km from the core Siddhatek village.

The Siddhivinayak (Ganesha) enshrined in the Siddhivinayak Temple is said to be the one who is capable of granting Siddhi (spiritual power).

Legend says that Lord Brahma, with the blessings of Lord Ganesha, was occupied in making the world. While this was going on, Lord Vishnu felt snoozing and the two devils, Madhu and Kaitabha, rose up out of Vishnu's ears. They began alarming all divine beings, goddesses and sages. On understanding that just Lord Vishnu could execute the evil spirits, Lord Brahma and different Gods asked for him to slaughter them. In spite of the fact that Lord Vishnu quarrelled for over 5000 years, he bombed in overcoming the evil presences. On the guidance of Lord Shiva, Vishnu venerated Lord Ganesh. Vishnu was then effective in executing the evil spirits with the gifts of Lord Ganesha. Thus, where Vishnu performed compensation and picked up Siddhi is known as Siddhatek and Lord Ganesha, who gave Siddhis, is known as Siddhivinayak.
