It was May 3 and time was 10.30 pm sharp. I managed to dodge the securitymen, who were driving out all devotees before the start of the evening Arati (prayer) inside the Shiridi Sai Baba Temple, about two-hour drive from Maharastra's Manmad Railway Junction.
I, however, managed to slip into an ante-room and found a couple of VVIPs chatting with ten/fifteen persons, and waiting for the last Aarti of the day. Except me, there was no other common devotee present inside the sanctum sanctorium at that hour.
The VVIP had brought two persons---one still photographer and another videographer, both shot and clicked away the pious image of Sai Baba, flouting the temple rules that warn against such acts.
I hope the temple authorities will take note of it in future. It's not a complaint, but a request to adhere to your own rules.
