BJP’s national president, Nitin Naveen, will launch a tightly‑packed spiritual itinerary on September 16, starting with his 10:20 a.m. touchdown at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. His first stop is the iconic Shri Siddhivinayak Temple, where he will offer a short prayer.

By 11:30 a.m., the leader will be at the world‑renowned Lalbaghcha Raja Pandal, joining devotees in seeking Lord Ganesha’s blessings. He will then proceed to the Chief Minister’s official residence on Malabar Hill for a brief worship session before moving on to the homes of Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, each featuring a personal Ganesha idol.

The schedule continues with a 2:15 p.m. appearance at Bandra Reclamation, where Naveen will participate in a mass Ganesh viewing and invoke prayers for harmony and prosperity across the state. The journey will then shift to Pune, where he will inspect the Kasba Peth Mandal and later the celebrated Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple at 5:00 p.m.

The day will end with visits to the Sane Guruji Tarun Mitra Mandal in Sadashiv Peth and the Sri Sai Mitra Mandal in Kothrud, completing a full circle of religious engagements aimed at fostering cultural unity.
