[Watch] Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra offer prayers at Lalbaugcha Raja
Former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh visited Mumbai's famous Lalbaugcha Raja on Tuesday, September 10, to offer prayers amid the Ganesh Utsav celebrations. The former cricketer was joined by his wife, actress Geeta Basra.
Harbhajan was dressed in a white shirt along with a saffron turban, while Basra wore a burnt orange dress. You can watch the video of the couple's visit to the iconic Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshotsav Mandal below:
It is worth mentioning that the Lalbaugcha Raja is a public Ganesh idol at Lalbaug, a Mumbai locality. Lakhs of pilgrims offer prayers during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival every year.
On the cricketing front, Harbhajan announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in December 2021. However, the 44-year-old continues to play in T20 leagues featuring retired cricketers.
The cricketer-turned-commentator was part of India Chamions' title-winning squad in the inaugural season of the World Championship of Legends earlier this year. The crafty spinner was the leading wicket-taker for his team at the tournament, bagging eight wickets from seven outings at an economy rate of 6.66.
