Meerut is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The city may have derived its name from ‘Mayarashtra’ ( मयराष्ट्र), the capital of the kingdom of Mayasura, Mandodari’s father and Ravana’s father-in-law.
This name may have mutated to Mairashtra, Mai-dant-ka-khera, Mairaath and eventually Meerut. Meerut is famously associated with the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British East India Company.
The famous slogan “Dilli Chalo” (“Let’s march to Delhi!”) was first raised here. Meerut cantonment is the place where the rebellion started when Hindu and Muslim soldiers were given rifle cartridges rumoured to have a coating made of animal fat. 1857 Mutineers’ Mosque.

Lord Ganesha has two wives Riddhi and Siddhi who are said to be the daughters of Lord Brahma.
Within the Ganesha Purana there is an incident in which various gods are giving presents to Ganesha, but in this case Siddhi and Buddhi are born from Brahmā’s mind and are given by Brahmā to Ganesha.
Sometimes the wives of Lord Ganesha are said to be Siddhi and Buddhi and within some texts they are mentioned as RIDDHI & SIDDHI
