इतिहास
History & significance
According to the Varaha Purana, Lord Ganesha was appointed by the demigods as the principal boundary guardian (Dwarapala) protecting the northern entryway of holy Mathura. The Pandavas re-consecrated the shrine during their post-war pilgrimage. The grand deity was hidden inside household water wells by priests during medieval invasions and successfully returned to its altar when peace prevailed
