Where is Delhi's Vinayaka temple where PM visited?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid a visit to the Shri Vinayaka Mandir in Delhi's Sarojini Nagar district on Wednesday, performing prayers to Lord Ganesha as he commemorated his 25-year tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat. The temple, also known as Sree Vinayaka Mandir, is situated at Sree Vinayaka Mandir Marg, AB Block, Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi - 110023.

Established in the early 1950s by members of Delhi's South Indian community, the temple was dedicated to Lord Vinayaka, another name for Lord Ganesha. Modi's visit coincided with his 25-year milestone since assuming leadership of his government, which began on October 7, 2001, serving as Gujarat Chief Minister until 2014 and subsequently as Prime Minister since 2014.
