Devotees broke their day-long fast after witnessing the Mahadipa (grand lamp) over the temple.

Prabhas, following the stupendous success of Baahubali series, somehow failed to impress a set of audience with Saaho. But now, the Rebel star is all set to enthrall his fans throughout the year in different characters.

Sevayats (servitors) belonging to the Brahman Nijog and Pujapanda Nijog have demanded that the devotees should be allowed to light lamps and offer puja inside the temple premises on the day of Maha Shivratri.

BMC said that the stipulations should be followed scrupulously by all concerned without any deviation during the celebration of Maha Shivratri on March 1

All the nijogs of the temple like Brahman Nijog, Puja Panda Nijog and Badu Nijag agreed to extend their full cooperation for the smooth conduct of Maha Shivratri, which is one of the important occasions observed at the 11th century Lord Shiva shrine. 

Devotees will be shown live darshan of the sanctum sanctorum of Kashi Vishwanath Temple by installing LEDs at various places. VVIPs have been requested to come by water route.

Salim Merchant of composer duo Salim Sulaiman, who has composed the track Jai Ho Bhole, took to his Instagram handle to share details of the track's release. 

The decision on the entry of devotees into the shrine will be discussed later.
