A special meeting held at the Sarasbaug Ganpati temple saw over 100 representatives from major temples across Maharashtra unite against the Maharashtra Devsthan Inam Abolition Draft Act, 2026. Participants included representatives from the Ashtavinayak temples and Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga. Advocate S K Jain criticized the bill, claiming it is legally flawed and could lead to disputes among temple custodians. Concerns were raised about the bill's potential negative impact on temple finances, as many institutions depend on Inam lands for their operations. Madhukar Ramkrishna Gavande, executive trustee of the Bhimashankar temple trust, highlighted that these lands are crucial for sustaining traditional religious practices. Sunil Ghanwat, national coordinator of the Maharashtra Mandir Mahasangh, stated that the proposed law undermines historical temple endowments. The meeting concluded with a unanimous demand for the bill's withdrawal, and temple leaders announced plans for a statewide awareness campaign and protests, including a significant demonstration at Azad Maidan in Mumbai if their concerns are not addressed.
