Accompanied by his wife, Mistry, who was yesterday ousted as Chairman of Tata Steel, arrived in Shirdi by a helicopter this morning and had 'darshan' of Shri Saibaba at the temple, where tight security arrangements were made in view of his visit.
Mediapersons, including photographers, were not allowed near the shrine during the short visit of Mistry, who was last month ousted at the chairman of Tata Sons - the holding company of Tata Group firms.
From there, Mistry and his wife went to the renowned Shani Shingnapur Temple. The shrine, dedicated to Lord Shani, who personifies the planet Saturn in Hindu belief, is located at a short distance from Shirdi in this Western Maharashtra district.
Keeping with the tradition followed by devotees, Mistry and his wife poured oil on an idol of Lord Shani. They, however, did not go up to the 'chabutra', or the sanctum sanctorum, as it was closed today.
The 50-year-old businessman was abruptly ousted on October 24 as Chairman of Tata Sons, the holding company of the diversified Group. He was later removed as Chairman of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
