Shegaon, Maharashtra - is buzzing with excitement today. The quiet temple town of Vidarbha is gearing up to welcome none other than the First Citizen of India — President Droupadi Murmu — who is currently on a two-day visit to Maharashtra.
The President is expected to arrive in Santanagari Shegaon at 11:30 AM, and the entire city seems to be holding its breath in anticipation. By 12:30 PM, she will inaugurate the 'Ayush National Health Camp' at Gajanan Maharaj Engineering College — an event that locals hope will bring greater attention to health and wellness in the region.
It won't just be the President making the occasion special. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, along with Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav, are all expected to be present. For a city like Shegaon, having so many senior leaders under one roof is truly a rare moment.
Of course, a visit of this scale comes with its share of arrangements. Devotees heading to the famous Gajanan Maharaj temple will need to plan accordingly — the temple will remain closed from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM today as part of the security measures. The streets around the temple are already lined with police personnel, and the usually serene spiritual town has taken on a very different, camp-like atmosphere for the day.
What makes this visit particularly touching is that President Murmu herself will be offering prayers at the shrine of Sant Gajanan Maharaj. For the devotees of Shegaon, having the President of India bow her head at their beloved saint's temple is a moment of immense pride.
