The Ganapati Dada temple, also referred to as Ganesha temple or Vinayaka mandir, is a complex near the Pushpavati river in Aithor village in Mehsana district, Gujarat. About 5 kilometers from Unjha, the temple is a Hindu tirtha (pilgrimage) site related to the Ganesha tradition in the style particularly popular in western India.
The temple is a multi-storey stone complex with Nagara architecture. It is notable for bands of Hindu reliefs, many of these related to Ganesha. Among these artwork are those of Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti and Surya traditions, as well as Vedic deities. The artwork show extensive signs of historic desecration (chopped limbs, noses, faces, beheaded statues, etc). Inside are large mandapas with elaborately carved pillars. The complex includes a dharmashala and community kitchen (bhojanalaya) that served Hindu pilgrims. The complex was restored and expanded by the Solanki dynasty.
