Dressed in traditional attire, the Tendulkars drew huge attention as they sought blessings during the festival. Their appearance not only highlighted the festive spirit but also came at a time when the family has been in the spotlight for personal reasons.

The visit comes just weeks after Arjun Tendulkar's engagement to Saaniya Chandhok - granddaughter of businessman Ravi Ghai, whose Graviss Group manages Baskin Robbins' India franchise. The private ceremony took place on August 13 with close family and friends in attendance.
Sachin later confirmed the engagement himself during a Reddit AMA session, saying, "Yes he did and we are all very excited for the new phase in his life."
Despite the buzz, Arjun has kept a low profile online - with his last social media post being a Raksha Bandhan message to his sister Sara. Neither family has shared details about the wedding yet.
