ali Mata murti vandalised and dressed as Mother Mary in Mumbai’s Chembur. Devotees at the temple inside Anik Village cremation ground were shocked to discover the goddess painted white, dressed in golden robes with a large crown topped by a golden cross. The murti was made to hold a child figure resembling baby Jesus. The shrine backdrop was changed to red cloth with a large golden cross and decorations.
Police arrested the temple priest Ramesh after devotees filed complaints. He was produced in court and remanded to two days of police custody. During questioning, the priest claimed the goddess appeared in his dream and instructed him to dress her as Mother Mary. Local residents allege he was paid by unknown persons to carry out this desecration. A case has been registered under Section 299 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for hurting religious sentiments and damaging a place of worship.
Police restored the murti to its original form in the presence of authorities to prevent unrest. Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal condemned the incident, demanding prosecution of all involved and strong law and order measures. Investigations continue to determine who influenced or funded this deliberate assault on Hindu faith.
This is not creativity. This is desecration. When a Hindu murti is violated and forcibly converted, it is an attack on the faith of millions. Such acts reveal organized attempts to erase Hindu identity. Vigilance and accountability are necessary.
