Why do we chant 'Ganpati Bappa Morya?' There was a great devotee of Lord Ganesh in the 14th century named Morya Gosavi. He was originally from a village called Shaligram in Karnataka where his devotion was looked upon as madness. He later traveled and settled in Chinchwad, near Pune, and invoked the Lord with severe penance. Morya attained siddhi at Shree Chintamani and his son built the temple to commemorate the event. It is said that Morya also performed penances at Siddhivinayak in Ahmednagar
