Amitabh Bachchan , along with his family members, visited Siddhivinayak temple at Prabhadevi in central Mumbai on 27th May to offer prayers to Lord Ganesh.
Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya left their home 'Jalsa' in Juhu, a western suburb, at 0130 hrs and walked to the temple barefoot. They reached there around 0430 hrs to participate in the 'Kakad' arti (before sunrise), sources said.
A serpentine queue of devotees, who had come from near and distant areas of the city, had to wait for over an hour when the Bachchans were offering prayers to the deity, they said.
Every Tuesday, devotees visit the temple in large numbers to offer prayers and some even walk several miles from their homes to the temple to reach on time for the 'Kakad arti' as Tuesday is considered ''Lord Ganesha's day''.
According to sources, Mr Bachchan, sporting a grey track suit, drove from his bungalow 'Prateeksha' to his other residence 'Jalsa' where he was joined by Abhishek and his wife Aishwarya to walk towards the temple. They were accompanied by Sikander Kher and director Apoorva Lakhia.
Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan joined them at the temple.
Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya have acted together for the first time after Abhi-Ash's wedding, in the soon to be released film, Sarkar Raj which is directed by maverick director Ram Gopal Varma.
