Vodafone Idea (Vi), one of the leading telecom service providers of India, is bringing a spiritual experience to millions of devotees through its OTT platform, Vi Movies and TV App, on this Ganeshotsav. In partnership with Shemaroo, an Indian media conglomerate that offers diverse fictional, non-fictional, movie, comedy and more, the telecom operator is offering free Live Darshan of iconic temples, including the most famous Lalbaugcha Raja (from Mumbai) and the famous Asthavinayak Temples based across the Maharashtra region.
The live streaming service started from today (August 27) and will continue till September 6, which will cover the entire 10-day festival. Devotees can further enjoy year-round access to Asthavinayak temples through the app, even after Ganeshotsav concludes.
Temples included in live darshan
Vi is offering a close-up view of several prominent temples, such as:
- Lalbaugcha Raja: Mumbai’s most popular Ganesh pandal
- Shree Mayureshwar Ganpati Temple, Morgaon, Pune
- Siddhivinayak Temple, Siddhatek, Ahmednagar
- Shree Mahaganpati, Ranjangaon

This ensures that devotees who are unable to visit physically can still seek blessings virtually.
