In Sri Balaji Mandir, Nerul, Sri Ganesh Bhagvan graces the devotees as Vidya Ganapati, befittingly installed in a location surrounded by vidyastanams like schools and colleges. Sri VidyaGanapati being seated facing Goddess Sri PadmavatiThaayaar ( Sri Mahalakshmi ) draws the graceful prosperities from Her and confers the same on the devotees worshipping Him.

Astikas regularly offer their prayers to Sri Vidya Ganapati and auspiciously commence education processes (Vidyarambham) for their children in this sannidi.
