35,000 Women Perform Atharvashirsha Recitation and Mahaaarti at Dagdusheth Ganpati in Pune

In a powerful display of devotion and unity, nearly 35,000 women gathered at the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Mandal on Thursday early morning to recite the Atharvashirsha and perform the Mahaaarti on the occasion of Rishi Panchami. Chanting “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” and “Morya, Morya,” the women created a spiritually charged atmosphere as they bowed before Lord Ganesha. The ceremony, now in its 40th year, was organised by the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Sarvajanik Ganapati Trust in association with Suvarnayug Tarun Mandal, marking the 133rd year of the trust’s Ganeshotsav celebrations. Despite overnight rain, women began arriving from 2 am, dressed in traditional attire. The event commenced with the blowing of conch shells, followed by renditions of Ganesh Geeta, Omkar Jap, and devotional songs including “Gajanana Gajanana Mangalmurti Gajanana.” The collective recitation of the Atharvashirsha filled the stretch from the Utsav Mandap to Nana Wada with chants of “Morya Morya Dagdusheth Morya,” as thousands of devotees raised their hands in devotion and clapped in unison.
