Women gathered at the Shree Siddhivinayak temple, Prabhadevi, on Wednesday evening for a congregational chanting of the Ganapati Atharvasirsha to mark Bhadrapada Ganeshotsav.




Ganpati Atharvasirsha is a Sanskrit text and a minor Upanishad dedicated to Ganesha, the deity representing intellect and learning. The temple's chief executive officer, Veena Patil, said that the recitation of the text was for world peace and public welfare.
Singer Anuradha Paudwal, actors Gauri Nalawade and Tejaswini Lonari, honorable trustees Meena Kamble, Rahul Londhe and Mahesh Mudaliar were present at the programme.
