3,500 kg of mehendi in 3 hours: Lakhs of devotees at Jaipur temple that promises marriage

Jaipur’s famous Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple witnessed a massive rush on September 13 during the Sinjara festival, with thousands of devotees gathering to collect the special mehendi offered at the temple. The overwhelming turnout reportedly prompted authorities to begin the distribution of mehendi earlier than scheduled.

Sinjara mehendi holds special significance for devotees visiting the Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple. It is believed that people facing obstacles in getting married offer mehendi at the temple and later apply it to their hands, with the hope that they will get a suitable life partner within a year.

Devotees travel from Delhi, Chandigarh

According to an Instagram post, around 3,500 kg of mehendi was distributed within just three hours. Devotees reportedly travelled from cities including Delhi and Chandigarh to collect the mehendi, while some had begun arriving at the temple the previous night.
