Immediately after Devendra Fadnavis was elected leader of the legislative wing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on 28 October, a message started circulating among various WhatsApp groups.
The Maharashtra government had removed Brahmin priests from a Vithoba temple in Pandharpur, it went, but due to divine intervention, a Brahmin chief minister—Fadnavis—would offer prayers for Lord Vithoba at Kartiki Ekadashi.
As per tradition since the modern state of Maharashtra state came into being in 1960, it is always the state’s chief minister who leads the prayers for Lord Vitthal—or Vithoba—on two holy days, Ashadhi Ekadashi and Kartiki Ekadashi, the 11th day of the months of Ashadh and Kartik, according to the Hindu calendar.
Vitthal is considered to be the presiding deity of Maharashtra.
