Lalbaug cha raja experience

Yesterday, I went to Lalbaugcha Raja with so much faith excitement, and respect for Bappa. I was ready to stand in the crowd. wait patiently and go through all the difficult situation. just for a few seconds of Darshan. but honestly, the behaviour of volunteers and management towards the normal public is worst experience I have ever had at the place of worship. The way normal duty is worth shouted at push around and spoken was extremely worst and disrespectful. instead of showing a little understanding we were treated as we were some kind of problem. what shocked me the most was the attitude-as the ordinary people don’t deserve little respect. we are not asking for VIP Darshan. We are not asking for special privilege. We are just came to lots of faith and to see the Bappa peacefully and to take Darshan of Bappa.
Big places come with big mess. I stopped going to famous and popular places, because I hate being pushed when I am there to worship. I want to offer my prayers with peace and not while the volunteer decides that some person's prayers are more important than mine. Instead I visit smaller and unknown events, where the atmosphere is welcoming.
My experience has been similar at all major temples. The push and shove by volunteers and police is highly disrespectful. I have decided not to go to any major and popular places. Instead I visit small mandals where I feel welcomed.
This peace unlocked some hidden emotion in me! 🤩
