International pop star Rihanna took over the internet after posting on the microblogging site Twitter about the recent Farmer protest happening in India, #Indiatogether became so trending that even the Indian government noticed it.

RiRi was recently doing a campaign for a jewellery brand, she was seen donning a pair of purple satin shorts and accessorized her look with heavy jewellery.

The star posed topless, covering her modesty with her hands. Netizens didn’t take long to notice the singer wearing a Lord Ganesha pendant.

Rihanna received severe backlash on the micro-blogging site and Indian users have accused the pop star of insulting Hindu deities.

Soon after the picture went viral, many took Twitter to express their displeasure and accused her of hurting their religious sentiments. Many also called her out for cultural appropriation. One user wrote, Super offensive wearing Ganesha like that.  Sorry RiRi, you disappointed me and others, while another wrote, “Rihanna!! Stop using my religion as an aesthetic!! That Ganesh figurine at the end of the chain is a holy and sacred figure for us Hindus.”

Even BJP leader Ram Kadam bashed the popstar for sharing a topless photo with a Lord Ganpati idol pendant. “It’s appalling to see how @Rihanna shamefully mocks our beloved Hindu God #Ganesha. This exposes how #Rihanna has no idea of respect for Indian culture, tradition and our issues here. Hopefully, at least now @RahulGandhi and other Congress leaders will stop taking help from her”, he wrote.
