Hyderabad: The last day of Ganesh Chaturthi saw an overwhelming number of devotees visiting the Khairatabad Ganapati temple. Thousands of people gathered at the site for darshan, causing huge crowds and heavy congestion around the temple.
Since Sunday is a public holiday, even more visitors than usual came to the temple. Officials noted that this year’s number of devotees is the highest they have ever seen. This large crowd has made it difficult for authorities to manage the event smoothly and ensure everyone’s safety.
In response to the situation, the authorities asked for extra help and put crowd control measures in place. However, the massive turnout led to long lines and delays for those wishing to see the idol. The growing popularity of Khairatabad Ganapati has made this year’s final day of the festival one of the busiest ever.
