As dawn breaks on the first day of Ganeshotsav, the atmosphere is electric with excitement and devotion. The Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati mandal stands adorned with colorful decorations, inviting devotees to come together in celebration. This year, a special opportunity awaits devotees can participate in the sacred Abhishek rituals, a cherished tradition that honors Lord Ganesha.
Hindustan’s first Ganpati mandal, Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati, will commence its traditional Abhishek rituals during the Ganpati Festival. Devotees can participate in this service by making a voluntary donation, and registration for the service has already started.
Punit Balan, the Celebration Chief and Trustee of Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati, stated, “Devotees were insisting on starting the Abhishek service at the Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati. Therefore, the Trust decided to launch it. Devotees can avail themselves of the service by making a voluntary donation.”
The Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati Festival has been celebrated for 133 years, during which the Trust has introduced various social initiatives. However, the traditional Abhishek service had not been available until now. Devotees have been requesting it for the past 2-3 years, and in response to this demand, the Trust has decided to initiate the service, according to Punit Balan.
Devotees can participate in the Abhishek rituals from 6 am to 11 am during the 10-day Ganeshotsav. Prior registration is required to take part in this service. To register, devotees can call 9112221892
