Lord Ganesha is worshipped first for the success of any work, therefore today Baba Mahakal was decorated in the form of Lord Ganesha with Bhang and dry fruits, after that Bhasma aarti was performed.
Sharma said, “Today, in Bhasma Aarti, we prayed to Baba Mahakal for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon. It is the dream of every Indian that the progress of the nation should continue, so Pujari sangh and the devotees worshipped Mahakal for the same.”
The worship was also done for scientists and their hard work is commendable. Prayers were performed that may Baba Mahakal’s shower blessings on them. It has been wished that India continues to get success through them in the future, he added.
