On Monday morning, around hundreds of dead fish were found floating in the Banganga water tank at the Walkeshwar temple in Mumbai. Every year, following the Pitru Paksha rituals, a large number of fish are found dead in the Banganga tank.

During the 'pitru paksha' observance, devotees express their respect for their forefathers by offering food. After the devotees offer prayer, the offered food are immersed in the water tank.
