Tata Group's ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry recently visited Surat earlier this month in his private plane and visited Udwada for a pooja. During his one day stint to Gujarat, he also made a point to visit Vesu, where he conducted a pooja for Lord Kaal Bhairav at the Ashapuri Mata temple. The village locals welcomed him with a shawl.
Mistry, who is writing a book in memory of his ancestors, during his research, found a diary written by his grandfather Shahji Mistry in 1880 in which he mentioned staying in Vesu and conducting regular pooja at the Bhairavji temple. Shahji also stated in his diary that the road that ran from Boya pond to the village was built by his family. In a bid to visit nostalgia lane, he conducted the pooja and visited the different sites his family had fond memories of.
