Mumbai: The Siddhivinayak temple in Prabhadevi organised special prayers on Thursday morning to thank Lord Ganesha for 'Operation Sindoor', the Indian military's successful strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
The temple organised a puja and aarti between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. Acharya Pawan Tripathi, the temple trust's treasurer, led the prayers.
Others who took part in the rituals were Sadanand Sarvankar, chairperson of the temple trust and former MLA, trustees Bhaskar Shetty and Mahesh Mudliyar, chief executive officer Veena More Patil, and deputy executive officer Dr Sandeep Rathod. Devotees who came for darshan took part in the religious service.
The Lord's altar was decorated with the tricolour. A member of the temple trust said that abhishek offerings were made to the deity on behalf of the brave soldiers who completed the successful assault on terror camps in Pakistan and the Pakistan-occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir. "Abhishek is done in honour of God and to receive his blessings. Here, we asked God to bless our brave soldiers."
