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.
