It was very brief info about Ashtavinayak Ganpati shrines.
Maharashtrian culture has so much affection and devotion towards Ashtavinayak that Ist stanza of Marathi Wedding's Manglashtak is of names of Ashtavinayak only:
॥ स्वस्ति श्री गणनायकं गजमुखं 'मोरेश्वरं' 'सिद्दितं', 'बल्लाळो मुरुड़ं' 'विनायकमहं' 'चिँतामणी थेउरं', 'लेण्याद्रि गिरिजात्मकं' सुरवरं 'विघ्नेहरं ओझरं', 'ग्रामो रांजण संस्थितं गणपतिँ' कुर्यात सदा मंगलम शुभ मंगल सावधान ॥
