Chatur Dant Vinayak Mandir

'Chatur Dant' means 'four-tusked,' describing a specific iconographic depiction of Ganesha distinct from the more commonly seen single-tusk (Eka Danta) image found elsewhere in the same citywide set — these naming and iconographic variations reflect the rich diversity of forms the fifty-six Vinayak shrines were traditionally meant to cover.

Its location within a school compound rather than a dedicated temple building is notable: the shrine likely predates the school itself or was incorporated into the grounds as the institution grew, a pattern not unusual in old Indian cities where religious and educational sites often share or inherit the same plot of land over generations.

Nai Sarak itself is a relatively 'newer' (the name literally means 'new road') but still old and commercially busy street in central Varanasi, giving this shrine a different, more urban backdrop than the riverside ghats where many other Vinayak shrines sit.
