Thousands of devotees flocked to Mumbai's Siddhivinayak Temple on New Year's Day 2026, seeking blessings and participating in early morning aarti. The Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Mandir Trust implemented special arrangements, including an early opening at 3:15 am and a revised darshan schedule, to manage the anticipated crowd of three to four lakh visitors. All special pujas were suspended for the day to ensure smooth crowd flow and equal access for devotees.
