The state government had last year ordered the complete closure of religious places and temples for devotees as a precautionary measure to curb the spread and spread of Corona disease in the state. But as the incidence of corona disease decreased, the government decided to open the temples. Accordingly, on Thursday. The temple of Shri Girijatmak Ganapati at Shri Lenyadri Ganapati, one of the Ashtavinayak Ganpatis, was opened for devotees on October 7, said Kailash Lokhande, President of Devasthan Trust and Jitendra Bidwai, Secretary.
Although the incidence of corona disease has come down, the state government has reopened the temples with some rules and restrictions as the crisis is not over yet. Accordingly, the Devasthan Trust has taken measures following the instructions. Also, the temple has been opened with various restrictions. As the temple was opened, flowers were decorated in the temple and worship and abhishek were performed in the morning. This decision will create employment opportunities for the local people and therefore all the villagers welcomed the decision. During the day, many devotees from Ahmednagar, Nashik, Thane and other places came to Shri Kshetra Lenyadri and paid obeisance to Shri. This information was given by Kailas Lokhande, President of the Devasthan and Jitendra Bidwai, Secretary.
