Priests
pray non-stop for 200 hours for peace in Jodhpur Jodhpur:
A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva reverberated with sounds of cymbals amid chanting
of hymns in Jodhpur as 51 priests prayed for peace, harmony and prosperity in
the country. The priests said that they prayed to the Lord to bless the whole
country. "We believe that with this not only Rajasthan, but the entire India will
usher in peace, harmony and prosperity," said Lakshmi Kant, a priest. The eight-day
long prayer session was organised to coincide with holy monsoon month of Shravan,
devoted to Lord Shiva. "A total of 1331 hymns chanted by the priests for continuous
200 hours," said Sridhar Giri, another priest. The 200-hour long prayer, which
saw the participation of priests from across the country, concluded on Sunday.
