The famous Ganesh temple at Ozar in Maharashtra's Pune district was looted by two unidentified persons. The thieves ran away with an empty donation box and a silver umbrella from the temple on Tuesday, police said.
The incident took place at Vighnahar Ganapati Temple, one of the 'Ashtavinayakas' (the eight revered shrines of Ganesha) at Junnar tehsil in Maharashtra.
As the donation box was empty, the thieves left it near the temple and escaped with the silver umbrella, an official said.
"We have received a CCTV footage in which two people can be seen entering the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in the early hours of Tuesday and decamp with the donation box and a silver umbrella," said a senior police official from Otur police station.
The thieves had allegedly jumped over a wall to enter the temple premises, he said.
A case has been registered against the thieves under relevant sections of the IPC and further investigation is underway.
