Mahashivratri in a quiet village temple should have been routine. Instead, it triggered one of Maharashtra’s sharpest political flashpoints of 2026. On 15 February, Abdul Sattar visited the Nageshwar Mahadev temple in Rahimabad, Sillod, and performed puja as he reportedly does every year. Hours later, local BJP workers sprinkled gomutra inside the temple, calling it an act of “purification” because a Muslim MLA had entered the sanctum on a sacred day. The move was publicly owned, not denied. What followed was a layered political storm: Eknath Shinde termed the act unfortunate while defending his party colleague within a nationalist frame; leaders from Shiv Sena (UBT) called places of worship open to all; figures like Waris Pathan questioned whether the visit itself was faith or optics. What began as a temple visit quickly became a battle over identity, access, symbolism, and the politics of purity—proof that when ritual meets power, even prayer becomes contested ground.
