Varadavinayak (Vinayaka who grants boons) at Mahad, Raigad district — the fourth Ashtavinayak. The temple's continuously-burning lamp is said to have been lit in 1725 and never extinguished since. The nanda-dīpa (perpetual flame) has reportedly burned since 1725 CE, tended by successive generations of priests. The small temple is notable for its tiled roof with a golden pinnacle. The mūrti is svayambhū and faces east.
