Adesh Bandekar, the chairperson of Siddhivinayak Temple Trust, said that the gold donated was used to gold plate the ceiling and 12 door panels. The temple declined to name the donor who wanted to remain anonymous. The gold plating was done while the temple was closed for its annual scheduled programme between January 15 and 19.

“We are yet in talks with the devotee and some more things are planned, we will reveal the details at the right time,” said Bandekar.
