For the last 23 years, the Goddess who was worshipped during Navratri on M G Road, Mulund West, a bustling suburb of Mumbai, literally lorded over the street. However, with the division of Shiv Sena, not only have her ardent devotees also got divided, she now has competition. 

M G Road and its Goddess seem to be bearing the brunt of Shiv Sena’s break-up as both factions have set up Navratri pandals in close proximity. Fed-up residents are complaining of double encroachments on the road and pavements.
