A shocking incident has unfolded in Mumbai's Chembur suburb, where the idol of Hindu goddess Kali was found dressed as Mother Mary at a local temple. The priest, Ramesh, was detained by the police after he admitted to dressing the idol in the manner, citing a dream in which the goddess instructed him to do so. According to eyewitnesses and a viral video on social media, the Kali Mata idol was seen wearing golden robes and a crown, with a child figure in her arms, believed to represent baby Jesus. Devotees visiting the temple on Sunday were taken aback by the unexpected transformation and immediately informed the local police. The authorities registered a case under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the priest for allegedly hurting the religious feelings of a community. Following the incident, the priest was arrested and produced before a local court, which remanded him to two days of police custody. The police are now investigating the incident, trying to determine whether there was any organized motive behind it or if more individuals were involved. The incident has sparked widespread attention, with many questioning the priest's actions and the circumstances surrounding the incident. As the investigation continues, the community remains divided, with some supporting the priest's claims of divine instruction and others condemning the act as an insult to their faith.
