According to the Hindu mythology, all new works should start by offering prayers to Lord Ganesha. Therefore millions of devotees including many celebrities visit the temple every month just to offer their prayers and to get a glimpse of the lord.<br /><br />Good security arrangements are made in the temple premises for the devotee’s safety. If you visit this temple the only thing which might really bother you are the beggars from whom you just can’t escape.DimensionIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08971507400436171559noreply@blogger.com
